Cheshire East Council has announced it is to introduce a charge for the supply of new and replacement waste and recycling bins.
The charge for the supply of new and replacement standard 240-litre household bins will be £30 each for recycling, black residual and garden waste bin and £25 for a smaller-sized 140-litre residual, recycling and garden bin.

Hello! , the school summer holidays are nearly upon us!
Let’s see if this lovely weather lasts!
Typically, the end of school term can result in a rise in crimes such as noise complaints, disorder and other forms of antisocial behaviour from the community. Merely a day goes by these days without us reading about some instance of anti-social behaviour caused by groups of teenagers congregating in a particular area BUT it’s important that we don’t tar all teenagers with the same brush.
The vast majority of Alsager’s young people are a credit to themselves, and only a small minority of individuals may be responsible for any youth-related problems we see over the summer. Many teenagers who might congregate near your home or shops often do so because there’s simply no other suitable place to go and hang out. And, in the vast majority of instances, they’re not going to cause trouble. [Read more…]
