Newspost includes R12 Bus Service; Kerbside Collections (including Christmas Trees); Pharmacy Opening; Recycling Centre; NHS Walk-in Centre.
The NHS Salisbury Walk-in Centre, Millstream Medical Centre, Avon Approach SP1 3SL will be OPEN as follows:
The Village Calendar displayed on the Home Page (and under Local Information in the men) has been updated to include the following reminders:
The single change to Kerbside Recycling/Rubbish collection dates over Christmas/New Year affecting Stratford sub Castle Tuesday 6 January instead of the normal Monday collection.
Garden Bins will be emptied on 18 December and then paused until normal schedules resume with a collection in Stratford on 15 January. On that date only, one real Christmas Tree under 5 feet in height can be left next to your garden bin if you already pay for garden waste collection. If your tree is taller, than 5 feet, chop off the excess into manageable pieces and put them inside your bin.
Residents who are not signed up for the chargeable garden waste service can take their real Christmas trees to any of the council's Household Recycling Centres free of charge.
The Salisbury Household Recycling centre closes early on Christmas Eve, Wednesday 24 December at 1pm. It is normally closed on Thursdays and Fridays during the winter, so with bank holidays falling on Thursday/Friday, no other changes affect Salisbury HRC.
Salisbury Library will also close at 1 pm on 24 December.

Christmas services at St Lawrence Church are detailed in the notices on the Virtual Noticeboard and in the Parish Magazine.
