Hi neighbours!

A number of burglaries from commercial and resident properties were recorded in the past week - a reminder to everyone to lock their doors and make sure that if they're going away not to advertise it for others to find out.

Marlborough community Constable Russ Smith said during this time of year, there tends to be an increase of criminal activity around theft, particularly around residential properties where thieves may suspect, or think, there is an opportunity to obtain items of more value.

Christmas recycling reminder

The Team from Marlborough District Council

There's lots to recycle at this time of the year but please don't overload the crate, especially if there’s a breeze. If it’s windy, place your black refuse bag on top of the recycling – it helps hold down any loose items.

There's lots to recycle at this time of the year but please don't overload the crate, especially if there’s a breeze. If it’s windy, place your black refuse bag on top of the recycling – it helps hold down any loose items.

Your crate shouldn’t be overflowing and don’t leave stuff on the pavement - collection trucks can only pick up the contents of one crate per household.

While Christmas wrapping paper can be recycled, shiny foil wrapping cannot - it has a plastic content that’s not suitable for recycling.
