Somerset Council have announced that there will be no recycling or rubbish collections taking place on Bank Holiday Monday. Collection days will change across Somerset following the bank holiday on Monday, 5 May.

All collections will move back one day. If a resident’s usual collection day is Monday, it will now take place on Tuesday. Tuesday collections will be moved to Wednesday, Wednesday collections to Thursday, and so on. For those who usually have a Friday collection, their collection will be rescheduled to Saturday.

If opening on a Monday is part of the Recycling Site’s opening days, then it will be open as usual from 9am to 6pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

To help manage the increased volume of recycling, residents are encouraged to make extra space in their recycling boxes by crushing and flattening their recyclables. This simple step can make a difference to help reduce the number of trips crews need to make to empty their vehicles.

Please be aware that we have received a notification of a TTRN (emergency) road closure at Fiddington Road, Fiddington which will commence on 7th April 2025 – 27th April 2025 (07:30 – 17:30) for a total of 21 days.

This will enable Mike Gardiner Construction to carry out construction of two passing places 

The contractor has indicated that access for Emergency Services through the site  is permitted on this occasion.

For any further information about this closure please contact Mike Gardiner Construction on 07717 33068, quoting reference: ttro372152N

Hinkley Point C will be moving equipment on the following dates and times:

• Saturday 12 April between 10:00am – 12:00pm.
• Sunday 13 April between 09:00am – 12:00pm.

Due to the size and shape of this equipment, the delivery will be managed via an escorted ‘rolling roadblock’.

Hinkley Point C will be transporting equipment from Combwich Wharf along the C182 to the Hinkley Point C construction site.

They will be moving equipment on Wednesday 2 April between 09:00 – 11:00am.

Due to the size and shape of this equipment, this delivery will be managed via an escorted ‘rolling roadblock.’

 This £1.5 million project is introducing new treatment processes to improve the quality of treated wastewater and ensure that Wessex Water continues to comply with Environment Agency standards.

It will also help to further improve the health of rivers, as their processes for removing chemicals such as phosphorus, which are found in many household products, are enhanced.

The work is to replace or add infrastructure to the water recycling centre and is taking place entirely within their existing site. Local residents may notice occasional increased traffic along Lime Street, Shurton Lane and on the access road into the water recycling centre.

 There will be a heavy goods vehicle, wide-load delivery to and from site on Thursday 10 April 2025. This delivery will be supervised, with a 10mph speed limit and will not take place before 8am or after 4.30pm.

 To assist with its safe passage, all residents will be asked to park only on one side of Lime Street for the day, they will be placing cones to assist in this effort. This will help prevent congestion and allow the delivery to proceed smoothly.

 Sewerage services can be used as normal unless they advise otherwise. 

 They will be writing to local customers close to Lime Street and Shurton Lane early next week to advise them about this work.
