Dubious selling at the door.
We have received numerous reports about individuals claiming to be representatives from an energy company offering cavity-wall insulation. These individuals are targeting elderly and vulnerable residents and appear to have morally-questionable selling tactics and at this time cannot be confirmed as legitimate. Please be vigilant and do not allow people access in to your property or hand over any money without checking their I.D and confirming their legitimacy with the company they claim to work for. Please also keep an eye on any elderly or vulnerable neighbours.
Information regarding bin collections.
Due to the snow we were unable to make any waste bin collections during the week Feb 26-March 2.
To catch up collections will begin again on Monday March 5 and we will be prioritising domestic waste (green bins).
All green bin collections missed in the week Feb 26-Mar 2 are to be put out for collection on Monday March 5 and we will get there as soon as possible.
We will collect any extra bagged waste.
If a green bin is due for collection next week (March 5-9) it is to be put out on the normal collection day.
Once your green bin has been emptied, please then put out your recycling (blue bin) and we will attempt to collect these as soon as possible.
Garden waste collections (brown bin) will be suspended next week (March 5-9)
We thank all our residents for their co-operation and their patience during this prolonged period of bad weather.
Is your journey absolutely necessary?
Good afternoon,
Due to the adverse weather conditions please do not go out in your vehicle unless the journey is absolutely necessary, we’re getting an increasing number of calls about cars stuck in the snow.
Thank you,
Skipton Police
