Service Disruptions

Due to unsafe weather conditions, there were no waste and recycling collections on Monday 8th February 2021.  Partial service resumed on Tuesday 9th February 2021 but many roads continue to be inaccessible. Households are asked to take back in any uncollected waste, and present it on their next scheduled collection day for the relevant recycling week.

If your property was a Green box and Black Bin/Sack collection, week commencing 8 February: 

• Food waste, plastic and tin recycling, and black bins – should be put out on the next scheduled collection day week beginning 22 February.
• Recognising additional black bin waste will be created, residents can put out up to three extra bags of side waste for collection.

 If your property was a Red box collection, week commencing 8 February: 

• Food waste and paper/cardboard recycling – should be put out on the next scheduled collection day week beginning 22 February.
• No additional side waste will be allowed for black bins as these collections were unaffected. 

This page will be updated if there are any further delays.  Apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

 Update on Vaccinations February 4th

 Rita Garnett has asked me to pass on this message to HRA members:-

 Yesterday it became apparent that those who had received letters from the National Centre were being offered ridiculous slots in places as far away as Southampton and Swindon. I have been informed that the St Helena's Hospice Hub is not on their list as it is a GP run facility. Holland Pharmacy is part of the National system!!  I understand that Clacton Hospital will also be on the National list.

Having spoken to the powers that be I have been told that patients that are part of the Clacton Community Practices (which includes Frinton Road and Epping Close) should not panic, they will be contacted by the local organisers and offered a local appointment (even if they have had the national letter).

 There are now plans to start some vaccinations in local surgeries. Watch this space.
