Van Gogh in Shrewsbury ?
I saw this recently and thought it looks like the railway bridge, with the steam train crossing over and the turning into TOM.
Recycling bins - house residents
Shropshire Council says its new garden waste subscription scheme will now begin in November, a month later than planned, after issues with bin stickers.
The authority was due to bring in the new service, costing residents £56 a year, from the start of October, meaning green waste would no longer be collected for free.
However, several (Shrewsbury) residents have claimed on social media that supposedly tamper-proof stickers - used to distinguish the green bins of subscribers – were peeling off.
If you have paid for a sticker you should, by now, have received the replacement one.
If you have any queries regarding recycling please go to Shropshire Council.
New household recycling centres booking system
From Monday 4 November you'll need to book a slot if you want to take your waste and recycling to one of the five household recycling centres. Bookings can be made up to six days in advance, so you'll be able to book from Tuesday 29 October.
Bookings can only be made by people living in Shropshire.
Talking of bins
Concern has been expressed regarding bins being left outside houses.
A gentle reminder please - we ask that you put your bins back in your garage, out of sight as soon as you can. This helps to keep the estate looking smart and tidy. Thank you.
"Watch out there’s a thief about - possibly!
As Christmas approaches take extra care with deliveries. In the past we have had a number of thefts from the apartment foyers as thieves have gained access.
Please report any suspicious behaviour and ask a neighbour to collect your goods in your absence.”
Thank you for reading.
