THE recent adverse weather has resulted in delays in waste collections in some areas of Rossendale.

The resultant delays can affect the collection schedule for a number of days following any disruption.

A number of properties in the Helmshore area were not completed as normal on Friday according to Rossendale Council and a spokesman said that further efforts will be made to complete collections.

In the event of services being affected during forecast adverse weather conditions this week, the council has contingency arrangements in place to engage additional resource during any recovery period or when conditions have improved sufficiently to enable access.
