Background
Garden Waste collections were suspended in March at the start of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown as staff sickness levels in the workforce increased, and this decision ensured the domestic waste and recycling service could continue to operate as normal
Staff sickness levels have fallen in recent weeks and more staff are now available to collect residents’ garden waste in addition to providing the usual service.
What is happening
Collections will return to the previously advertised schedule and we will continue to monitor the national Covid risk rating, infection rate, and the continued availability of staff in the weeks to come to ensure we can continue to run all services while ensuring staff safety.

During these uncertain times, we are being told to self-isolate, but because of technology, we’ve never been more connected – despite being on our own.
We, at Kingsley Players Youth Theatre, want to keep the arts alive during these difficult times, and are delighted to announce our next project ‘Stay Connected: a multi-media exhibition on the theme of connectedness’.
We are looking for people, during their self-isolation, to create a piece of art on the theme of ‘connectedness’. It could be a play, a song, a piece of music, a short story, a painting, a photograph; the possibilities are endless! We hope that we will be able to create an exhibition of this work later in the year.
If you are interested, please complete the following form and send it to Jake via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Stay safe, stay healthy, stay connected.

Important coronavirus (COVID-19) notice
Cheshire West and Chester Council are reopening some of their Household Waste Recycling Centres on Tuesday 12 May 2020 for STRICTLY ESSENTIAL USE ONLY.
Residents should only visit the recycling centre if their journey is absolutely necessary. This means that if the items stored at home cause a health and safety risk such as injury, illness or harm to the household then the trip is essential. Otherwise, please store your waste at home until normal services resume.
Please seriously consider whether your visit is essential before you set out on your journey to your nearest site
Visit Household Waste Recycling Centres for details of the sites that are opening
Previous announcement:
7 May 2020
Cheshire West and Chester Council will re-open Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) following a change in Government guidance.
On Tuesday 12 May the HWRCs in Northwich, Neston, Winsford, Chester and Ellesmere Port will reopen. The smaller HWRC in Frodsham will open on Friday 15 May. This is because the location of the Frodsham sites requires traffic management to be put into place to manage queues safely before it can be reopened.

These are really difficult and trying times, we live in isolation, we hear of nothing but sickness and death - even in our own village. But we have been blessed these days with some beautiful, if not chilly at times, days and whilst we are encouraged to walk each day to get exercise, what better exercise can we get than spending our days in the garden.
We have never spent so much time in our gardens, and as someone commented, "we should have gardens ready to rival Kew by the end of isolation". Clearly, the club did not meet in April and will not be meeting in May the way things are going. BUT - Kingsley Garden Club is out there in the community. If you have read Facebook or the Village website, you will know that we have a table outside Val Boote's house at the bottom of Well Lane next to Kingsley Brook. This is run on a basis of take and replace with something of your own (cuttings, seeds), or, take and make a voluntary donation to the Club.
We live in hope that we might be able to host a June meeting, the final one of this season, before we all go on holiday - again! We have a new season planned with some really exciting and keynote speakers, so something to look forward to in these very dark times. And as Monty always says.....
Some Jobs for You to be getting on with.....
-
Plant out your tomatoes, they should be getting to a reasonable size
-
Start planting out summer bedding (try our stall)
-
Now your bulbs have finished, let the foliage die back and water with liquid fertiliser
-
Remember to open doors and vents on your green houses to stop toasting your seedlings.
-
Don't forget in these very dry times to water fruit trees, rhubarb and any soft fruits.
-
On the watering side, start saving that washing uo water, the water you run off the hot tap until it comes warm. It all helps to save water and use it most effectively
-
Plant your hanging baskets adding slow release fertiliser and good compost
-
Divide larger hostas as they start to grow.
-
Trim back aubrieta and alyssum after they have flowered to promote new growth and blooms.
