Nottinghamshire recycling centres staying open during lockdown

All 12 recycling centres across the county will remain open from 8am to 4pm daily.

Strict social distancing guidelines will remain in place.

Country parks, including Rufford Abbey and Holme Pierrepont Country Park/the National Water Sports Centre will all remain open, including carparks, play areas (numbers will be restricted), limited take-out refreshments and toilet facilities.

All public transport provided by the council and dedicated school transport, will continue as before, with the same measures in place.

Coun Kay Cutts, council leader, said: “I fully support the national lockdown and it’s vital we all do all we can to slow the spread of Covid.

"I do however want to keep Nottinghamshire open and on the move where it is safe and Covid secure for our residents.

“I can confirm that the council will be keeping recycling centres open for those who and registered to use them and we will also be keeping country parks open as it’s vital for people to be able to use them to exercise and keep fit and well, both mentally and physically.

"All our services will be kept under review during this period but the important thing now is that everyone plays their part by following the new guidance and rules in full to help us to get more control over the virus.
