HELP FOR CLYNICALLY VULNERABLE

You may have received a letter from the NHS telling you that you’re clinically extremely vulnerable, or been contacted by your GP or hospital clinician. If this has not happened, contact your GP or clinician after you register with this service. You can find info and register for help here.

If you are not clinically vulnerable but are self isolating and need any help at all, you can always contact local volunteers at Mashamshire Community Office on 01765 680200.

MESSAGE FROM HARROGATE DC RE GARDEN WASTE COLLECTION

Due to operational reasons relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, W are unable to collect garden waste over the next two weeks (31 March to 10 April).

Collections will resume the weeks commencing 13 April (collections will be one day later than normal due to Easter Monday) and 20 April. If you have additional garden waste please leave this next to your bag/bin in a suitable sack (preferably not tied).

Our collection crews are continuing to work incredibly hard to provide our services during this unprecedented time. We currently need to prioritise household waste and recycling collections that have increased due to people self-isolating.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.

RECYCLING – PLEASE WEIGH DOWN

As lids are not provided for recycling bins, please could residents try to weigh down their recycling with the bags of paper on top to stop items blowing out in the wind and help stop the spread of litter in the area? Thank you for your co-operation

MASHAM COMBINED VOLUNTEERS – FOOD & PRESCRIPTION DELIVERY

The two volunteer lists in Masham have now been combined. The Masham Churches list of helpers with food and shopping has now come together with the list of people helping with prescription collections which is coordinated by Mashamshire Community Office. The combined list of over 70 volunteers around Masham and the surrounding villages are available to help with shopping, prescription collection and any other issues.

If you have volunteered with either group, you may be contacted either by the Church or Mashamshire Community Office to help someone in need near you.

Please call 01765 680200 if you need help.

There are also local volunteer groups emerging in surrounding villages – we will try and keep up with these on our Covid-19 Local Info Page here.

CLARIFICATION

North Yorkshire Closes Waste + Recycling Centres

All Household Waste Recycling Centres in North Yorkshire will be closed with immediate effect until further notice following the Prime Minister’s statement last night. This decision does not affect your household refuse or recycling collection service.

Whilst it may be tempting to use this period of confinement to carry out DIY work or gardening, residents are advised to avoid creating unnecessary waste until HWRCs are able to reopen.

Cllr Andrew Lee Executive member for Waste Management said “It is clear from the Prime Ministers statement that we should all only be making essential journeys and we have therefore taken the decision to close all HWRCs in North Yorkshire to help reduce the opportunity for the virus to spread. We will of course continually review that position and we will reopen them at the earliest practicable opportunity. Please hang on to any bulky waste until the sites reopen and don’t be tempted to fly tip. Fly tipping is an offence and offenders will be prosecuted.”
