Round and round they go.
🍃The trees in Page Park certainly keep our StreetCare team busy.
🍂The leaves are cut up as they are collected so they decompose faster to make a lovely mulch for our flower beds.
🍁Keeping the leaves off the footpaths stops them becoming a slip hazard.

The visa service at Kingswood's One Stop Shop has expanded to meet demand from across the country.

My class have been given the opportunity to perform at Glastonbury festival. A fantastic opportunity! However, we need 2 mini buses to get us there. We are really struggling to find someone. Any ideas? #michaelevis #glastonburyfestival

Thanks so much everyone for your kind words today they really mean a lot. Time for me to clock off. I’m keeping the LDR mask (and the branded tote bag, water bottle and bottle opener) but I will take it off to enjoy this cider #LDreporter
