We are really sorry that the bus station toilets are currently out of order due to vandalism. We are working to repair the damage and bring the toilets back into use and are grateful for your patience. In the meantime, the nearest public toilets are the Dam Street pubilc toilets (located in the Bird Street car park).

If you are signed up to our garden waste service for 2024, don't forget we do not empty garden waste bins in late December/early January, so your last 2024 collection will take place on your usual collection day during the first two weeks of December - we won't empty any garden waste bins after 13 December. Garden waste collections will start back up again on your normal garden waste bin day after 27 January if you are subscribed to the service.
