As the colder weather looms, a plea for volunteer ‘Snow Angels’ has been made in Tandridge.

The District Council is asking for local communities to support each other and help clear pavements around key areas when it snows.

Shopping areas, schools and doctor’s surgeries are just some of the locations where volunteers have helped in previous years to salt pavements in advance of bad weather and help clear pavements of snow and ice when the cold weather strikes.

Volunteering groups are available in several locations, including Bletchingly, Dormansland; Godstone; Lingfield; Nutfield and Oxted.

Anyone who is willing to help out should contact Scott Coughlan on 01883 732785, or e-mail scoughlan@tandridge.gov.uk to find out more.

From next week residents in Tandridge will see an addition to their recycling collections.

Small electrical and electronics equipment, batteries, textiles and paired shoes will be picked up weekly from 1st December.

To take advantage of this new simple to use service all residents need to do is:

1.     Place each type of item in a separate plastic carrier bag (supermarket size, no larger than 35 x 40cm and not in black bin bags).

2.     Put batteries in a separate, sealable/tied small up bag eg a sandwich bag.

3.     Tie each bag.

4.     Leave the bags at the front of their property boundary by 6am next to their green food caddy on their usual recycling /waste collection day.
