Stafford: Beaconside SFA estate walk round by Stafford Borough Council and Veolia Wednesday 30th July

 

Information received from Stafford Borough Council, it has been arranged with Veolia to have an estate walk round on 30th July (blue bin collection day) to check and replace bin stickers where possible and assess how many blue bags are being used for paper and cardboard.

It was hoped to have done it sooner but due to holiday/work commitments on both sides this is the first collection day when they are all available! Becky from SBC will update Dawn in the HIVE after the visit to discuss if any other communications are needed. 

This is just to make the occupants of the SFA on the estates aware of the walk round in case you wonder what Becky (SBC) and Veolia are doing.

If you need any further information on this please pop into the HIVE, phone or email me.

Dawn HISO Stafford.
