Councils celebrate success of new separate food waste collection service

31/1/2023

 
Warwick District Council and Stratford-on-Avon District Council have been collecting household food waste since August 2022 - since then a total of 4,412.48 tonnes of waste has been collected.

The combined Warwick and Stratford household food waste is treated at Severn Trent Green Power's Coleshill anaerobic digestion facility. Anaerobic digestion is a process through which specialist bacteria break down organic matter - such as food waste - in the absence of oxygen and produce biogas. The Coleshill facility can treat up to 50,000 tonnes of household and commercial food waste each year, which is enough to generate 2.4 Megawatts of electricity.  

The biogas produced from this process is either converted to electricity and exported to the national electricity grid or further treated and exported to the national gas grid, supplying homes and businesses with renewable energy. In addition, the process also creates a nutrient-rich liquid bio-fertiliser which is used by UK farmers to help grow the fruit and vegetables that end up back on our plates.

In the two weeks between Christmas and New Year, nearly 460 tonnes of food waste was collected separately across the two districts. It is predicted that Warwickshire residents will be powering the equivalent of 1,024 homes for a year with green energy; this is the equivalent of 8,997 tonnes of carbon not emitted to the atmosphere compared to the same amount of food waste going into landfill. Find out more about what happens to household food waste after collection .

Warwick District residents need photo ID to vote at elections in May

17/1/2023

 
For the first time, residents in Warwick District will need to show photographic ID to vote at this year’s local elections. Residents are being urged to make sure they are ready to vote in May by checking they have an accepted form of ID.
Accepted forms of ID include a UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport; a UK, EEA or Commonwealth drivers’ licence; and some concessionary travel passes, such as an older person’s bus pass or an Oyster 60+ card. Voters will be able to use expired ID if they are still recognisable from the photo.
Anyone who does not have one of the accepted forms of ID will be able to apply for free ID online at www.voter-authority-certificate.service.gov.uk/ or by completing a paper form.
The full list of accepted ID is available on the Electoral Commission’s website, along with more information about the new requirement and details of how to apply for the free ID, at electoralcommission.org.uk/voterID.

Notice from HS2:

Cromwell Lane will be closed between, Red Lane and Hodgetts Lane from Monday 20 February to Friday 24 February 2023.
The closure will be in place 24 hours a day. A fully signposted diversion will be in place throughout the closures and access to all properties will be maintained. Cromwell Lane will be remain open for pedestrians and cyclists.
