 Share  Tweet  Forward 28 October 2022  Cost of living support We’re coordinating information on what community facilities and services are being provided in the county, to support you through the cost of living challenges. We’re also producing an interactive map so that in a few clicks you can quickly find what warm spaces and community food providers are available in your local area. We’re aiming to have the map on our website by the end of this month. More information on what we’re doing to support you through the cost of living challenges  Stay safe this Halloween If you are celebrating Halloween this year, we hope you have a spook-tacular time, but stay safe. Please be mindful and respectful that not everyone in our community will be taking part. Wiltshire Police has some great advice on how to stay safe when trick or treating and has also designed a poster for residents who don’t wish to take part. Tips on how to stay safe when trick or treating this Halloween Download the no trick or treating poster  Pest control As the weather gets colder and the nights draw in, it’s not only us who might want to stay indoors in the evenings. To help prevent rats, mice, squirrels and any other unwanted visitors letting themselves in, here are our top tips: Ensure any holes or gaps in the outside of buildings are filled inMake sure rubbish is stored in bins with the lid shut downPlace any compost bins on patio slabs or small wire meshEnsure bird feeders are removed at night and ideally use a pole to hang feeders in an open space away from overhanging trees or shrubs and clear up spilt food regularly If you hear noises or suspect you have unwanted guests don’t ignore it, email pestcontrol@wiltshire.gov.uk or give us a call on 0300 456 0107. More on the pest control support we offer  Be wary of cold callers and scammers Please be wary of cold callers and scammers that are looking to take advantage of the current cost of living challenges. Our advice is to not engage with any businesses which cold call you either at the door or by telephone. Some businesses operate in a less than ethical fashion, using ‘hard sell’ tactics to get a sale, and these traders usually target more vulnerable members of the community. Examples of previous scams in Wiltshire include companies selling alarm systems, solar panels, roof repairs, loft insulation and gardening services. Legitimate businesses would not put a resident under pressure to buy a product or service quickly. More information and advice on how to avoid being a victim of a scam  Reducing your food wasteRecycling all you can is great, but the best thing you can do with your waste is to reduce it. Not only does reducing cut down on waste, it also cuts down on your bills. Did you know that up to 50% of the rubbish we throw away can be composted? Find out more about composting, including how you can compost food at home. We’ve also collated some great tips on our website on how to reduce food waste and help the environment.

| Update on Wiltshire Council services for Monday 19 September There will be some changes to Wiltshire Council services on 19 September, following the announcement that there will be a national bank holidayto mark the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Here are the details of services affected on 19 September: No collections of waste or recycling will take place on Monday 19 September. All collections due on the day of the Queen’s funeral will instead take place Tuesday 20 September. For collections scheduled between Tuesday 20 and Friday 23 September we ask that bins and containers are placed out as normal by 7am, though some collections may not be completed until the following day. All household recycling centres will be closed with normal opening hours resuming from 20 September. Leisure centres will be closed with normal opening hours resuming from 20 September. Libraries will be closed, with no mobile library service on offer on that day. Any books that were due to be returned by 19 September will be extended until 26 September. Books of condolence will be available in libraries until the end of the day on 20 September. Buses will be running to Sunday timetables, therefore bus routes that do not normally run on a Sunday will not be running on 19 September. To find out timings on this date, please call Traveline on 0871 200 22 33 or contact the local bus company. Schools and colleges will be closed. Registration services will only be open for scheduled ceremonies. Our three main council hubs (Bourne Hill, County Hall and Monkton Park) will be closed. All roadworks scheduled to take place on Monday 19 September will be suspended for the day, which may mean that the duration of these works are extended by a day. Highways operations will be emergencies only. |
