Fouling in your area - is it a problem?

If so, please email info@loggerheads.eu with the details (road name etc.)
and the information will be passed on to our Dog Warden
Please remember, you can email as well, in confidence, the name and address of any irresponsible dog owner (who is actually breaking the law) and this will be passed onto the dog warden.
Food Waste Recycling - clarification
Residents can use no liner at all if they wish, and place
food directly inside the silver caddy and green outside bin. Both are
easy to wash out, and the caddy can go in a dishwasher.
Residents can use a single sheet of newspaper to line their caddy. This
can also be a no-cost option, using free newspapers such as The Advertiser
or the Council publication, called The Reporter. Bought newspapers can
of course be used. Residents should only use a single sheet of newspaper
if they chose this option.
Residents can purchase liners at a large range of places - supermarkets,
DIY shops, local shops etc. These are available at a range of prices.
The Council is looking for local stores to stock these as part of a network,
however in Loggerheads the Late Shop has declined to be part of this network.
The Council would like to hear of anyone else who might be interested
in stocking them, and would pass details on to the independent organisation
arranging this. The Council-sponsored network is one which makes no profit
for the Council.
The Council is running a couple of drop-in sessions for local residents
on Monday 22nd 11am-1pm at the Loggerheads Community Information Shop
and on Tuesday 23rd 7.30pm at the Hugo Meynell School. Anyone with queries
about the new services would be welcomed at these sessions.
A leaflet covering all four collection services (recycling, food waste,
garden waste and refuse) will be delivered during the fortnight commencing
15th February along with a combined calendar clearly indicating when collections
take place. Residents will alternate between blue week (food waste and
recycling) and green week (food waste, garden waste and refuse).
The Council website is being redesigned to communicate all details of
the new services.

Lastest SCAMS from Trading Standards
(1) Mobility Equipment Warning
Trading Standards Officers are warning about mobility companies operating in the Staffordshire area. They may cold call to your home, use high pressure sales techniques and may not provide you any cancellation rights. They may even say they are from Social Services.
(2) Bank Card Verification Scam Email
Trading Standards have today been informed of a scam email claiming to be from Interswitch Nigeria. The email states that new security measures have been introduced to make transactions more secure. The email will ask you to register your debit card details including your email address and phone number so that a verification code can be either emailed or sent to your mobile by SMS.
