A COUNCIL has warned that its recycling and waste collections could be delayed this summer.

South Lakeland District Council has warned residents that due to increased traffic collections may not take place at the usual time.

An SLDC spokesman said: “During the summer holidays our recycling and waste collections may not take place at the usual time because of increased traffic and parked cars.

“Our bin crews may be later than usual due to delays, or earlier than usual if they have to take a different route.”
