RESTRICTIONS AT LOSCOE HOUSEHOLD WASTE RECYCLING CENTRE EASED📣
Residents will be able to visit Derbyshire County Council’s Household Waste Recycling Centres any day of the week from today.
The layout of the county council’s nine centres have been improved to accommodate more vehicles on site at any one time while allowing visitors to maintain two metre social distancing –
meaning the odd and even number plate system put in place to restrict the number of vehicles visiting the sites is no longer in place.
Anyone using the sites should wear protective gloves and suitable clothing and footwear to allow them to carry their own waste.
Only one person per vehicle should get out of the vehicle unless they need someone to help lift heavy items and children and pets should remain in the vehicle for their own safety and the safety of others.
The queue checking system on the council’s website is no longer in place now more vehicles are allowed on site.
For more information about the types of waste accepted at the sites and all the latest safety information visit www.derbyshire.gov.uk/recyclingcentres Business or trade waste is not accepted.

Each library will limit the number of people that can come in at any one time, which will be monitored by staff.

Codnor Parish Council Public Toilets and Play Area.
Following the receipt of detailed government guidelines and advice (which is changing daily) on the safe reopening of toilets and play areas I am afraid that the unisex toilet at the Clock Tower will not now reopen on 4 July.
We are currently working to achieve the necessary standards required in relation to cleaning, distancing, signage and supplies to enable them to reopen safely in the future and will keep residents updated on proposals to reopen - but we must ensure the safety of our residents so therefore will be keeping the toilet closed for now.
STATEMENT ON REOPENING PLAY AREA AT BRIERLEY ROAD, WAINGROVES.
Following final inspections and a safety check, Brierley Road Play Area has now reopened.Please play safe by following the latest government guidance on the use of play areas. Appropriate signage is now installed at the site.
It is not feasible for Codnor Parish Council to provide the following at the site:
• Provision of Stewards
• Arrange a booking system
• Relocate equipment for social distancing
• Clean equipment daily
• Provide cleaning equipment
Scientific advice suggests that the COVID-19 virus can survive for up to several days on some hard surfaces. The risks are reduced when outdoors, where surfaces may be subject to UV light and/or rain. Whilst all possible practical measures have been put in place the user of this equipment does so at their own choice and risk.
The following signage will be placed on site -
CODNOR PARISH COUNCIL

‘The waste collection teams are doing a fantastic job under extreme pressures, the crews have been faced with some streets being impossible to get the vehicles down due to the number of cars parked as more and more people are staying at home. Whilst the authority is going to send out the attached flyer can all residents try to help wherever possible when parking their cars and vehicles on their streets’
Maintenance of parks and open spaces

The borough council is continuing to undertake grass cutting within its parks and open spaces,
so that people can use them for exercise whilst being able to maintain a safe distance from others.
There have unfortunately been some instances of employees being challenged by members of the public whilst grass cutting. We would ask people to refrain from this, as our teams are undertaking this work so that others can safely exercise within the parks.
Need further help or information?Contact the team directly on 01773 570222 or email enquiry@ambervalley.gov.uk

The defibrillators at the clock tower and the community and sports building are now registered with the ambulance service and are fully operational.
The defibrillator is stored in a locked vandal-proof enclosure inside the kiosk, and when a member of the public calls 999 to report a suspected cardiac arrest the operator will give them the combination to open the enclosure and access the defibrillator. It is simple and safe to use and no training is required as the machine gives clear spoken instructions. |
