Bin collections in the hot weather
From now until the end of July, our crews will be going out earlier than normal to collect your bins. Please make sure they are out by 6am on your collection day.
Building safety in your council home
If you live in a council building, you can see what procedures we have in place to keep you safe.
We are responsible for making sure all our council tenants feel safe in their homes, know what to do in an emergency and who to contact if there are any problems. This includes if you live in any of our high rise buildings.
About the high rise register
Our high rise register lists all our buildings which are seven storeys or more, or taller than 18 metres and have at least two residential units.
We currently have three buildings on our high rise register:

The Building Safety Act 2022
All our buildings, including high-rise ones, are covered under the Building Safety Act 2022 and we have a legal duty to make sure all requirements are met to keep you safe in your home. These include fire risk strategies, assessments of each building and what to do if you have any concerns.
