A MAJOR reorganisation of refuse collection and street cleaning services started this week. It is hoped disruption will be kept to a minimum and local residents will be kept informed of the changes.
Said Mark Newton, Operations Manager: "This is the first time that the council has combined the contracts for refuse collection and street cleaning and this will allow us to develop and integrate the operation of these services to make them more efficient and effective."
A special hotline - 582430 - has been set up to deal with any problems.
