How to use a private window on your browser

All leading web browsers have a “private browsing” mode that, once enabled, stores nothing about your activity on your computer in that browsing window. This won’t stop online services from seeing what you get up to, but it won’t leave any traces of your activity on your computer (no history, web cache or anything else) and so it’s always a useful first step to take.

Internet Explorer: Go to Safety – Tools – “InPrivate Browsing”.

Firefox: Click the Menu button with three horizontal lines – “New Private Window”.

Chrome: Click the Menu button with three horizontal lines and select “New Incognito Window”.

Fire safety advice

Following an investigation it is believed that a fatal flat fire in Kings Hedges started accidentally, and the most probable cause was an electric bike that was charging.

We want to share some important safety advice from the fire service on how to safely charge electric bikes or scooters. All our council homes are provided with a smoke detector. Take a moment to test your smoke detectors today. If there are any issues contact us on 0800 805 1313

We have set this page up for use if our online bin collection calendar temporarily stops working. We are sorry if you have been re-directed here while our online bin collection calendar is fixed.

Bin days have changed for some residents in September. That’s why there is not the usual bin collection calendar on this page.

We will have sent you a letter in the post if your bin collection arrangements have changed. If you didn’t receive a letter from us, your bin collection arrangements are staying the same.

There will be regular reminders on our social media channels and our website. You will also be able to check your collection days online.

Find out more about these changes.
