Unvaled

The council has decided to stop publishing its residents’ magazine Unvaled in order to save £39,600 a year. Instead the council will be making better use of other ways of communicating with residents, including via its annual leaflet in March with council tax bills and the tags that are left on all bins in the district to let residents know about revised waste collections over Christmas and Easter.

We will also continue to promote council news and services via our website and the local media, and will be reviewing the way we communicate with residents in two years time to check how these new arrangements are working.
