Attached to this letter is further information that we hope will help you understand what services are able to assist you.
Confidential Waste
The Council have recently received reports that people have been witnessed going through communal bins on the estate. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you to make sure that you dispose of any confidential waste that could be used by criminals safely, by shredding or cutting up letters and other documents that contain personal information.
Yours Sincerely,
Michelle Buckberry
