We’d like to thank all those who chose to join an online protest this morning rather than attend in person. More than 150 people joined a video call after organisers of a protest due to take place outside Bristol Mags’ Court urged people to respect coronavirus regulations.

❗❗Bin collections for Forest of Dean district suspended for 25 January❗❗ To protect the safety of road users and our crews we will not be sending out our lorries due to the current dangerous road conditions. A 25 tonne+ lorry losing control on ice is a risk not worth taking.
