Information for Southwell residents from the Town Council

STOP PRESS … STOP PRESS … STOP PRESS …

The Emergency Communications Hub: how it works
The Town Council has set up the hub to connect residents in need with a local organisation who can help, such as Southwell Torpedos, Lions, Flood Forum, Live at Home, Army Cadets, Green Southwell, several churches (The Minster, Riverside and Methodist) and several known individuals. Each household should have received the help leaflet with three telephone numbers above.  These numbers will connect residents to Town Council staff or a Councillor. The request for help will then be passed onto one of the organisations listed above. Whatever the request no one will be asked for any financial bank details from you such as a bank account or credit card numbers. We want residents to feel safe and secure when using this service.

Refuse Collections
Brown Bins – garden recycling collections to resume
NSDC will resume its garden recycling collections on Monday 1 June.
Customers are asked to leave their brown garden waste bin out by 6am on its usual collection day as set out on their calendar. Find out which day your bin is collected by entering your postcode here http://app.newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk/bincollection/
You will need a 2020 – 2021 sticker clearly placed on your bin.
Only bins with stickers will be collected.
Residents can sign up for the service, which costs £35 per year (1 April to 31 March), or order an additional bin by visiting the Council website here: https://www.newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk/gardenrecycling/. Residents can also check their brown bin collection day using the calendar.
Customers who renewed or signed up to the service while it was temporarily suspended will be entitled to a reduced subscription for the following year 2021/22.

Car Park Charges
Charges in Southwell car parks are suspended until further notice. The car parks are free to use until further notice – all enforcement has been suspended. Please adhere to government advice on social distancing when parking your car and going to and from your car – we want everyone to stay safe.
