Garden Waste Collections resume on 31st August (Tuesday) So if it is your week for blue bin / blue bag / blue lidded box, you can also put out your green waste bin - assuming you have a subscription label to show you have joined the scheme.
Remember because of the Bank Holiday on Monday 30th, collections will be one day later (with Friday's collected on Saturday).
The Liberal Democrats call on the the government to rethink its immigration policy and scrap its "arbitrary" threshold on salaries for skilled worker visas to help address the shortage of factory workers and lorry drivers.
"The chaos and incompetence of this government is now causing food shortages on supermarket shelves," said Alistair Carmichael, the party's home affairs spokesperson.
The Conservative Government's decision to cut development spending has done extraordinary damage to Britain's reputation with our allies and partners from across the globe.
In a week which will see the eyes of the world on the UK as we host the G7, now is the time for leadership - but instead, the Conservatives want Britain to hide from its responsibilities during a global pandemic.
Last week saw Jeremy Hargreaves (Federal Policy Committee Vice-Chair) join us to discuss policy development from the perspective of the FCEC and the impact our recent research projects have made on this work.

Disability is something which is not by choice but by accident or misfortune, as all of us want to be healthy and lead a perfect life. But sometimes we are the victim of time and circumstances, and we must lead the kind of life due to our disability that we never imagined.
Hall Leys Park Matlock came alive to the sounds of ABBA with the screening of the hit musical Mamma Mia. The park filled up from 6pm onwards and, as the sun set, the film began.
Over 400 residents enjoyed the film as part of the Welcome Back weekend. Lib Dem Town and District Cllr Paul Cruise, one of the driving forces behind the weekend event, commented "Everyone really enjoyed the film with many dancing and singing along to the final chorus. The culmination of lots of planning and hard work came together to make a fantastic event for local residents. The idea was to give the town a boost and the event certainly did that"
We've all watched the heartbreaking scenes at Kabul Airport showing citizens of Afghanistan trying to escape from the terror of the Taliban. Their situation is desperate.
It has never been more urgent to secure a corridor escape route to an international border. Kabul airport cannot be the only route out of the country. We must work with our international allies to make this happen before it's too late. (2/3)
It is with regret we report that Geoff Strudwick, a long serving Liberal Democrat member from Buxton, has died peacefully at the age of 89.
Both Geoff and his wife, Ann, who pre-deceased him by a couple of years, were originally members of the Liberal party and so became founder members of the Liberal Democrats. Geoff remained active until recently, delivering leaflets in last year's elections and signed nomination papers this year.
For visitors to the Buxton Opera House Geoff was also a familiar welcoming figure as a volunteer, where he also had a supervisory role.
The funeral is to take place in the afternoon of Tuesday, 24th August at Macclesfield crematorium.
