Food waste collection. New.
The Borough are starting a new weekly food waste collection service to help you recycle more and to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill.
It will start between January and March. Outdoor food bins and indoor 'caddies' will be delivered.
The food waste will  be collected at the same time as your other recyclable materials every week. It will be taken to a facility that turns it into electricity. By recycling your food waste, you will reduce the amount sent to landfill. Food in landfill produces methane gas which contributes to climate change.

Welcome

Welcome to the blog for the St. Edmunds Residents Association (sera).

We are a group of residents for the area which we have named "St Edmunds" It stretches from York Road to Palmerston Road and from Wellingborough Road to Billing Road, Northampton.

We had our first meeting in December when a dozen people met at the Victoria Road Church rooms and chose a steering committee of three.

We plan to have another meeting at the beginning of April when we will have a 'Question and Answer' session at Victoria Church.

We hope to work in improve the area and foster a sense of community to the benefit of all.

Please join in and help make the venture a success.
