On National Offer Day this week, 87.7% of children in the Royal Borough have received their first choice school – the highest proportion in five years! Additionally, 97.3% of children have been allocated a place at one of their top three schools – and every child has been provided with a school place. Congratulations to everyone beginning their first, infant or primary school adventure. | | Waste and recycling made easy We offer lots of ways to help you clear out unwanted items, recycle more and reduce waste at home, from bulky household items to garden waste and everyday recycling. If you’re getting rid of larger items, our large item collections service makes it easier to dispose of bulky household waste responsibly, with items separated for reuse or recycling wherever possible. For garden waste, our green waste subscription service provides regular collections throughout the year, turning grass cuttings, hedge trimmings and plant waste into compost. | | | Give unwanted items a second life with TRAID This spring, residents are invited to take part in TRAID's Closet Clear Out. By donating good-quality clothes through TRAID’s free home collection service, you can help turn unwanted items into real impact by funding projects that support garment workers, sustainable farming, and communities affected by clothing poverty in the UK and globally. Their doorstep collection service is open to all households, including flats, and you can book a collection for a day that suits you. Alongside your textile donations, TRAID can also take small electrical items for recycling. | | Discover what's on in the borough Whether you’re looking to meet others, try something new, or give your time to a local cause, there are lots of ways to get involved across the borough.
