The committee met on 21^st March and the following items were discussed –

Parking in the turning circle. 

At the recent AGM some members asked if double yellow lines could be painted in the turning circle.Karyn has contacted the Council and has been advised that it will not be possible at this time as others areas in Sawbridgeworth are a priority.

Bin collections

Karyn has been in contact with the council to ask if bins for the private houses and the flats can be collected on the same day.  This would mean less movement of large lorries, less pollution and be more cost effective for the council.  The council advised her that this is not possible as the houses are classed as household waste and the flats are classed as trade waste.

Please can we also remind all residents that plastic bags cannot be placed in the blue bins.   Large items must not be placed in or next to the bins as they will not be collected.  These items must be taken to a local Recycling Centre which are located in Harlow and Bishops Stortford.
