Richmond Council has begun setting out the effect of the upcoming lockdown on its key services.

The borough will begin a 27-day lockdown on Thursday, November 5.

This is what will happen to those services, in the council's words.

Day centres

Our Adult Social Services team is working hard to keep Day Centre services available for our most vulnerable residents. Staff will contact each individual personally to discuss.

Waste and recycling

These services currently remain unchanged and Townmead Road will be open as usual.

Please remember to book in advance.

Book your slot here.

Libraries

We are still pending government guidance, but we are hopeful that we will be able to provide a click and collect service as a minimum.
