From the 6 June, South Norfolk Council’s rubbish and recycling collection rounds will be changing and it is likely that the day the bins are emptied in your parish will change. We would appreciate if you could assist us with publicising these changes.

Next week we will be sending information packs to every property in your parish explaining what the changes, if any, will be. The pack includes an FAQ leaflet, bin stickers and their new collection calendar.

We thought it would be helpful to let you know what is happening in the ward in which your parish is situated. Below is the information about the new collection schedules across the ward including your parish:

Current collection days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday

New collection days from 6 June: Wednesday, Thursday or Friday

Number of properties:

• 1168 properties will have rubbish collected on a Thursday and recycling on a Thursday (on a regular alternate cycle)
• 10 properties will have rubbish collected on a Friday and recycling on a Wednesday (on a regular alternate cycle)
• 14 properties will have rubbish collected on a Friday and recycling on a Thursday (on a regular alternate cycle)

 

During the changeover to the new service, some properties in your parish may have two collections in the first week. Additional information about these collections will be included in their pack.

 

Information is also available on the Council’s website at www.south-norfolk.gov.uk/bins. If you have any further questions you can e mail me direct.

 

Kind regards,

The following information is from SNDC…

The Parish & Town Council Elections webpage provides all the information and forms including the nomination forms candidates will require see:-

http://www.south-norfolk.gov.uk/democracy/7242.asp

Candidates may print nominations and submit them between 9am to 4pm each day from 24 March 2015 until 4pm 9 April 2015. Please note the nominations must be delivered in person either by the candidate or by someone they trust, but who that is a decision the candidate must make.

Nomination forms cannot be posted of emailed. I would advise that nominations are delivered as soon as practical within the times and dates indicated, so should there be a problem with a nomination submitted there is sufficient time to resubmit a new nomination if required.
We are asking all candidates to complete a contact sheet as tel & emails are not required on the nomination forms, but if we need to contact candidates it is much quicker to call or email a candidate rather than send them a letter.
We can post nomination packs out to candidates or clerks but only if they are unable to print them.
As in previous elections we will be sending you election notices to be displayed in the parish during the election period, the notices will also be displayed on our South Norfolk Website and in our reception area.
At the close of nominations we will confirm the candidates through the Publication of statement of persons nominated.
The Parish & Town Council Election Count will take place on the 8 May, and the results will be published on South Norfolk website as soon as possible after the count.
