Your votes wanted to help raise funds for Benty Lane Scout Hut

Benty Lane Scout leaders have been in touch to ask for your help raising funds to develop their Crosspool headquarters:

We are fundraising for the Scout HQ extension and modernisation. We’ave been approved to apply for funding through the Aviva Community Fund. This funding is between £10-25,000 so is extremely important and life-changing for our scout group and local community venue.

We however need you and anyone you know to vote for us:

Vote for the project here

You just need to register and please give us your 10 votes. The more votes we get, the more chance we have of receiving this substantial funding to make this project come alive.

Please remember we only have 26 days to get as many votes as possible and it costs nothing to vote.

Disruption to black bin collections on Monday

An update from Sheffield City Council:

If your black bin is due for collection on Monday please put it out on Saturday 22 October instead (before 7am).

On Monday there is a one-day strike by some staff at our contractor Veolia Sheffield which means black bins won’t be collected. Please place recycling blue bins / boxes and green bins out as normal, however some may be collected later in the week.

All Household Waste Recycling Centres will remain open and collections should return to normal on Tuesday.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience and will collect a small amount of side waste when we catch up on your black bins on Saturday 22 October.

We will provide service updates on our website at www.veolia.co.uk/sheffield and via Twitter @Recycle4Shef and @SheffCouncil.

For further information please call 0114 273 4567, 8am-6pm Monday to Friday.
