News Updates From EHDC.
New Coronavirus Helpline:- 0333 370 4000
Public toilets
From Tuesday 24 March until further notice, all council-owned public toilets in the district will be closed. The Norse South East staff who clean the toilets will be redeployed to other work in the area.
Play areas
All play areas around the district will be closed until further notice.
Car parks
We have been asked if we will relax car parking charges. Abolishing car park charges at this stage could encourage more visitors to the area, which would be against the government’s policy of social distancing.
Bulky waste collections
New bulky waste bookings have been suspended until further notice. Norse South East will complete existing requests provided that the waste is left outside your property for the crew to collect.
Fly-tips and street litter bins
It may take longer than usual to clear reported fly-tips and empty street litter bins.
Rubbish, recycling and garden waste collections
We are currently working as hard as we can to keep your rubbish and recycling collections running as scheduled. However, we may need to prioritise domestic waste (green bin) collections as the situation with the COVID-19 continues. We will endeavour to collect your recycling (black bin) and garden waste (brown bin) on your regular day, but this is likely to become increasingly difficult.
Please put your bins out as normal on your scheduled collection day. Please leave your bin out all day as the crews may be running later than usual. If your bin is not collected please leave it out, where it will not cause an obstruction, and our teams will collect as soon as they can. This may not be until your next scheduled collection day. We will collect excess recycling which can be left in clear plastic sacks or a cardboard box next to your bin. If your rubbish collection is missed, we will collect any extra rubbish which can also be left in sacks next to your bin.
We will continue to update our website and social media pages regularly so please keep an eye out for service updates in your area.
For people suffering with symptoms associated with coronavirus (COVID-19) or self-isolating at home, please follow Public Health England guidelines regarding the disposal of waste. Thank you very much for your cooperation and patience during this difficult time.

Sheet Parish Council Global Warming response
Sheet Parish Council have been asked what they are doing in response to the Climate Emergency, take a look at the response HERE.
Thank you to everyone who supported the community orchard project on Saturday, 30th November.
The morning dawned clear and bright and over 40 residents, armed with shovels, came along to plant their fruit tree in the new orchard in the Millennium Field. Special thanks to Councillor Tony Clear who headed up the project and to EHDC and the Sheet Village Charitable Trust who donated a total of 17 trees. Thanks also to Bill Robinson, our Lengthsman, who donated his time to planting the hedgerow whips.
We look forward to seeing the fruits of your labour next year!
