Cllr Aaron Watkins, cabinet member for environment said: "I am pleased to announce that we are able to introduce a limited return to garden waste collections.

"Our current resources have allowed us to bring this service back following a two-week suspension. We ask residents to try to minimise garden waste at this time and compact what they have to dispose of as much as possible to ensure it will fit in the bin."
