Waste and recycling collections have been suspended in the Chipping Norton area today.

A spokesman for West Oxfordshire District Council said collections would resume as soon as it was safe to do so.

She said: "Our Street Scene Team is working with Oxfordshire County Council's highways services in the town centre to grit and clear the roads and pavements.

"Please can residents leave their wheeled bins and recycling boxes on the kerbside.

"Collections in the rest of the district are as normal today.

"On household waste and recycling, we are catching up on missed collections and this is being done on your normal collection day.

"On green waste there are no collections this week as resources are being used to catch up on last week's missed household collections.

"Revised arrangements will be announced later.

"Bulky waste collections are suspended for this week. We are contacting customers already booked.

"All the above arrangements are subject to stable weather conditions as forecasts show the possibility of more heavy snow this week."
