DAMAGE TO GATES AND FARMLAND!

There are approximately 12 miles of footpaths and trails in Lanner, and we are delighted that so many walk and ride these routes.

Sadly, some people are breaching the Countryside Code and causing damage to property.

Gates are being forced open, padlocks have been cut and trespass is being committed onto working farmland. Dogs are being exercised over crops causing severe damage, livestock are being put at risk!

Please stick to the designated paths only. Do not stray onto farmland, close gates, and respect the working farmers.

Livestock have escaped and strayed to unsafe areas which causes risk to others and property.

Please stop and think – if a gate is locked it’s probably because you do not have the right to cross the land and farmers have the right to take appropriate action.

Use designated rights of way only!

Construction works are being carried out to prepare Cornwall’s rubbish and recycling transfer sites for the introduction of weekly food waste collections. While the facilities are upgraded, some sites will be closed, and crews will need to take different routes while making collections.

This means that from May rubbish, recycling and garden waste collection times may be earlier or later than usual in some areas.

All households are being reminded to put their rubbish, recycling and garden waste out at 7am on their designated collection days to make sure they don’t miss their collections.

Temporary changes to recycling processing 

During the works, there will be temporary changes to the way some recycling is processed. Some recyclable materials collected from Cornwall homes will be transported to other recycling facilities in the South West. These materials will be mixed during transport but will be re-sorted once they arrive at the recycling facility. All recycling collected from households in Cornwall will be recycled.

Cornwall Council is asking that everyone continues to sort their recycling into their recycling bags and box as usual before they put it out for collection.

Weekly food waste collections and fortnightly rubbish and recycling collections

Later this year Cornwall Council will introduce weekly food waste collections and fortnightly rubbish and recycling collections to all households across the county. The new collections will be rolled out in five stages, area by area.

Food waste containers and a wheelie bin or protective sack will be supplied to each household in advance.

Each household will be contacted directly with more information about the new services before they are introduced in their area. In the meantime, residents who need more recycling bags or boxes can order them via Cornwall Council’s website.
