Waste and recycling collections continue to be suspended in the Chipping Norton area this morning.

Collections were cancelled yesterday after heavy snowfall overnight on Monday.

A spokesman for West Oxfordshire District Council said some roads in the area remained snow covered and icy today, making it unsafe for collections to be carried out.

She said: "The area will be re-assessed later today and collections will resume once it is safe to do so. Residents are asked to leave their wheeled bins and recycling boxes on the kerbside.

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

"The council is continuing to catch up on collections missed last week due to the weather. This is being done on normal collection days.

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

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