There will be no waste collections tomorrow (Friday 18th February) in light of the risks posed by Storm Eunice, so please don't put any bins out. All schools within the Wessex Learning Trust have also decided not to open, and will be offering remote learning instead. Please check with your school if you haven't heard.
