Bin collections

Due to the high temperatures forecasted, our bin crews will be starting collections earlier than usual to help keep them safe in the heat. Please make sure your bins are out the night before, as collections will take place from 6.00am for the rest of the week. Thank you for helping our crews work safely during the hot weather.

Unoccupied properties prohibited by law

What you need to know

A property that is unoccupied is exempt from council tax if:

  • the property owner has been served with a prohibition order. This prevents them from living in it
  • the property is subject to a compulsory purchase order
  • the property is unoccupied due to planning conditions

This means you do not have to pay council tax for the property. The property does not need to be unfurnished.
