Strike Action and service delivery

Havant Borough Council has put in place contingency plans for refuse and recycling collections in light of next week’s national strike action by Unison, the Council’s recognised Trade Union, on 16/17th July.

As it is not possible to determine how many staff will strike, every attempt will be made to collect domestic waste (rubbish) on the two strike days as normal. Residents are asked to put out their bin as normal on their set collection day. If the bin is not collected then residents are further asked to put out their bin on every morning thereafter by 7am until it is collected.

Recycling collections will take place on following scheduled collection in two weeks time. As this will then be a four week collection all recycling put out will be collected.
Residents who use the council’s Garden, Clinical and Special waste collection services are being contacted directly to inform them of revised arrangements.
At this time the council does not anticipate that any other services will be affected enough to cause noticeable disruption. It has already been decided that for other frontline services such as street cleansing and litter collection, priority would be given to shopping centres.

Residents are assured that every effort will be made to maintain as normal service as possible and should they have any concerns they can contact our customer services centre on 023 9244 6019.
