Dix: Her Majesty’s death is an enormous loss
Natasha Dix, the council’s strategic manager for the environment, said,
“It is with the greatest sadness that we learnt of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s death is an enormous loss as the majority of us will have never known a time without our Queen.
“We have taken the decision, with our waste partners, Amey, to suspend kerbside collections on the day of her State Funeral as a mark of respect. As a result, collections will roll forward by a day over that week.”
Household Recycling Centres at Lynnbottom and Afton Marsh will remain open on Monday 19th September.
