Free compost bins and workshops

Warwickshire County Council are keen to promote home composting.  It is a great way for gardeners to make their own compost and it diverts garden and food waste from the waste stream saving Council tax money.

To encourage residents of Warwickshire to either start composting or help existing home composters improve their knowledge, the County Council’s waste management team are running a series of free home composting workshops across Warwickshire.  Each resident attending the workshop will receive a free 330 litre compost bin. (Limited to one free bin per household)
Each workshop will last approximately 45 minutes consisting of a 30 minute presentation by two County Council officers with an expertise in home composting and waste management plus a question and answer session.
The workshops will take place as follows:
Bedworth – Wednesday 29th January
Bedworth Civic Hall, Bedworth
6.00pm – 6.45pm
Atherstone – Saturday 5th April
Lower House Farm Recycling Centre, Baddesley Ensor, Atherstone, CV9 2QA
10.00am – 10.45am
Stratford – Thursday 10th April
Holy Trinity Church Centre, Old Town, Stratford-upon-Avon
6.00pm – 6.45pm
Nuneaton – Wednesday 30th April
Nuneaton Town Hall, Nuneaton
6.00pm – 6.45pm
Warwick – Tuesday 6th May
Hill Close Gardens, Bread and Meat Close, Warwick CV34 6HF
6.00pm – 6.45pm
Rugby – Saturday 10th May
Rugby Library, LIttle Elborow Street, Rugby, CV21 3BZ
10.00am – 10.45am
We would be grateful if you could spread the word about the workshops to the residents in your Parish area.  To book on to a course either:

Crime Stats Alcester North October 2020

Well as crime has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks and it has always appeared difficult to find any meaningful crime stats. I have at long last found the information used by the Police lurking on the Police.uk website. It is not live data and runs approx 6 to 8 weeks in arrears for example October 2020 is now visible. This is a totally interactive tool, easy to use and has a great dashboard, what is good about this tool it also provides outcomes. The default is for the whole of the Alcester North area however it is simple to find out where the hot spots are and which crimes have been included. So for those of you keeping an eye on the stats this may well be the tool to use. To get to the information  just click the link  below Alcester North Crime Data
