NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2022
LEAF COLLECTION
The Residents Association has been in discussion with Colchester Borough Council about having the refuse lorry for the leaf collection, unfortunately the council hire charge for a single visit is the same as the Residents Association collects annually from subscriptions. As a result, the Residents Association has decided not to have the leaf collection on Saturday 19th November.
The leaf collection on Saturday 10th December 2022 will go ahead.
The refuse lorry will be in two locations this autumn, in the D in Woodlands, between 09:00-10:30 and the far end of Welshwood Park Road between 10:30-12:00.
All residents who have paid their annual subscription (£5) to the Association or who pay on the day are able to dispose of leaves and other garden waste. Containers should be emptied into the lorry and taken home.
On Saturday 10th December Ardleigh Scout Group are willing to collect bags of leaves from residents homes and take them to the refuse lorry and return the empty bags for a donation to the scout group. If you would like the scouts help, please reply to this email with your name and address or contact the Association Secretary so we are able to identify the demand for this service.
Please note the annual subscription to the Association will still need to have been paid or paid on the day.
