One-off green waste collection | The UK Government’s COVID-19 recovery strategy - update for retail businesses | Reopening of Bury Road car park

One-off green waste collection

With residents still urged to stay at home as much as possible, we are now offering a limited one-off green waste collection service, directly from your home.

Until the end of June, Veolia will take up to 15 bags of garden waste away for a one-off fee of £20. You can add other bulky waste items to the collection too, although there are a few things you will need to know first. More details are available on the Veolia website (external link). To book a collection, contact the Veolia Contact Centre on 020 8885 7700.

Please note that garden waste collected via this service will not be able to be sent for composting.

Alternatively, if you regularly have garden waste that you need to dispose of, sign up to our weekly green waste collection service for £55 or £75 a year, depending on your requirements.

The UK Government’s COVID-19 recovery strategy - update for retail businesses

The government has set out its COVID-19 recovery plan which aims to safeguard livelihoods, but in a way that is safe and continues to protect the NHS.

On 25 May, the Prime Minster set out timeline for retail businesses to reopen in June:

• Outdoor markets and car showrooms will be able to reopen from 1 June 2020, as soon as they are able to meet the COVID-19 secure guidelines to protect shoppers and workers
• All other non-essential retail including shops selling clothes, shoes, toys, furniture, books, and electronics, plus tailors, auction houses, photography studios, and indoor markets, will be expected to be able to reopen from 15 June 2020 if the Government’s five tests are met and they follow the COVID-19 secure guidelines

Businesses will only be able to open from these dates once they have completed a risk assessment, in consultation with trade union representatives or workers, and are confident they are managing the risks. They must have taken the necessary steps to become COVID-19 secure in line with the current Health and Safety legislation.

Hairdressers, nail bars and beauty salons, and the hospitality sector, remain closed, because the risk of transmission in these environments is higher where long periods of person to person contact is required.

Reopening of Bury Road car park

The Bury Road multi-storey car park will reopen to the public today, resuming its normal opening hours.

In line with social distancing guidelines, a one-way system and temporary signage has been introduced for users to help them navigate safely when entering and exiting the car park.

Parking is currently free. Updates on when enforcement is expected to resume will be displayed within the car park and on the council’s social media platforms.

Opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8.15pm and Sunday from 11am to 5.15pm. If you have an enquiry, please email the Parking Team at: parkingschemes@haringey.gov.uk
