Christmas bin collections

‘Tis the season for family and presents – and plenty of extra household waste. Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council is urging residents to recycle more and try to waste less during this festive season.This year bin collections will be affected over two weeks and, unless adverse weather affects bin rounds, collections should return to normal from Monday 13 January 2020.

Have fun and stay safe this autumn

As the nights draw in, thoughts turn to trick or treating, fireworks and autumnal family fun. But Halloween and Bonfire Night can come with their own challenges, so council Community Safety Patrol Officers are working to help keep the borough safe. The CSPOs are working with residents, shops and partner organisations as part of their Autumn Nights campaign.

Financial support for fresh start

A local charity will continue to provide relationship support for residents in the borough thanks to a significant cash boost. As part of its support for local organisations, the council has awarded £15,000 to counselling service Relate North Hampshire which provides help to couples, families, young people and to businesses and their employees.

Mayor showcases the best of the borough

Mayors from across Hampshire got to see a snapshot of the great things the borough has to offer during #LoveBasingstoke Day. The Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane Cllr Diane Taylor and her Consort Dr Andy Taylor welcomed dignitaries from other Hampshire authorities to the rolling countryside between Whitchurch and Overton.
