Update on Plymouth City Council services on day of Queen Elizabeth II's State Funeral
Preparations are underway in London for Monday, which is also a bank holiday
Plymouth City Council have issued an update on arrangements for council services on Monday 19 September, the day of Her Majesty the Queen's state funeral.
Earlier this week the government announced that day will be a bank holiday.
The bank holiday will allow residents to pay their respects to Her Majesty while marking the final day of the period of national mourning.
This will mean the following changes to Council services:
Waste and refuse collections
They will not be collecting bins on Monday 19 September. As usual is the norm for Bank Holiday weeks, waste collections will be one day later than usual.
So if your normal collection day is Monday your collection will be on Tuesday, and so on. It will be all back to normal the following week.
Both of the council's Household Waste Recycling Centres at Chelson Meadow and Weston Mill will be closed all day.
Bulky waste collections will also be postponed.
Libraries
All libraries will be closed.
This means that the Books of Condolence at Southway or Plympton libraries will not be available. Residents wishing to sign a book can do so at St Andrew's Church or at the Council House.
Leisure
Plymouth Active Leisure facilities at the Plymouth Life Centre, Plympton Pool and Gym and Brickfields Sports Centre and Recreation Ground will be closed. As a reminder, Tinside Lido and Mount Wise Swimming Pools close for the season on Sunday 18 September.
Plymouth Market
Plymouth Market will be closed.
The Box
The Box will be closed.
Customer services
The council's main customer services function will be closed but emergencies can still be reported by calling 01752 668000.
