Essex and Suffolk Water will need to divert two of their water mains.  National Highways plan to help them with this by installing part of the infrastructure required for the water mains diversion across the A12 near Margaretting.

To do this safely, they will need a full closure of the northbound carriageway between junctions 12 (Brentwood) and 15 (Three Mile Hill/Webb’s Farm Interchange). This will take place from 9pm on Friday 5 April to 5am on Monday 8 April 2024.

A clearly signed diversion route will be in place.

Please note that the southbound carriageway will remain open during this period.

Further details can be found here.

Trade waste collections will restart on Tuesday 30 January.

Domestic collections will restart on Wednesday 31 January.

Uttlesford District Council will be collecting last week’s non-recycling/general waste bins and food waste caddies.

The crews will be able to take some side waste which must be in black bags, up to four per household.

They will aim to get to you on your usual collection day.  However, they may not initially be running as many lorries as they would normally, so if they do not manage to get to you on your usual collection day, please leave your bins out and they will be collected.

Collections will be made either in their own vehicles or those supplied by other organisations on their behalf, including other councils.

Please note, as they are prioritising the non-recycling collections this week, recycling collections will restart in the week commencing 12 February as per the normal schedule.

They will update regarding garden waste collections in the next few days.

Uttlesford District Council thanks residents for their patience and are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.
