Snow on Saturday and freezing conditions over the weekend means we are reviewing Council services today. Temperature at a maximum of 1o today but ice could cause hazardous conditions according to the BBC.
Council Services
Cemeteries and Crematorium
Ocklynge Cemetery will only be open for pedestrian access due to the weather conditions, all other services are as usual.
Waste Collections
Recycling, garden waste and refuse collections are running as normal today, with some delays because of ice on frozen footpaths. Please be patient as the teams work to clear paths and complete rounds.
Additional paper, cans, glass, textiles, plastics bottles and household batteries can also be taken to one of Eastbourne’s 20+ “bring sites”.
