The majority of Scarborough Borough Council services will be suspended or closed for the Queen's funeral on Monday 19th September.

The authority says it is as a mark of respect for the state funeral of Her Majesty and to honour the national bank holiday.

Council offices and the Customer First service will close.

All types of household bin collections, including chargeable domestic collections, and commercial waste collections (unless otherwise stated) will be suspended and pushed back by one day. Collections will take place on Saturday 24th September so five days of collections during the week will still be provided.

The council is promoting the changes on its website, social media channels and text message alert service for subscribing customers.

The bin calendar on the council’s website, which people can use to check their collection day, has been updated with the revised service information.

The council will continue to provide street cleansing, bereavement services, its homelessness duty and some other essential services during the bank holiday.

Council car parks and public toilets will remain open.

Its Everyone Active operated sites at Scarborough Sports Village, Whitby Leisure Centre and Pindar Leisure Centre will close.
