In March 2026, the government published the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2026. These introduce a new plan-making system.
We will temporarily pause garden waste collections for 12 weeks this winter, from Monday, 1 December 2025 to Friday, 20 February 2026. Collections will resume on Monday, 23 February 2026.
