We reopened on the 7 July but the ways and times our customers are using libraries have changed and by making these slight adjustments we can enable more Norfolk libraries to reopen.  We need to be able to release staff across the county to work in other libraries in a Covid-safe way.  As a service we are working hard to make the best use of our resources to meet customer’ needs

Acle Library has reopened and we have enjoyed welcoming many of you back.

More information

Broadland District Council:

As part of our work to continue running services during this time, we are making some changes to the way your waste is collected.

Our general advice is to put your bin out the night before your normal collection day and be prepared to leave it out for longer than usual the next day, as from Thursday, March 19, collection times in the district will be staggered, to avoid contact between crews.

We would like to thank you for your cooperation during this time.

Waste and recycling collections

Some Green and Grey bins (waste and recycling) will be collected from 6.30am rather than 7am. Others will be collected later in the morning, with collections not starting until 8.30am.

Our advice is please leave your bin out the night before collection and leave it out for longer than you normally would.

Garden waste collections

All collections of garden waste may be up to half an hour later than normal.
