Halewood Town Council is pleased to be supporting the vaccine roll-out with the NHS once again. A drop-in session at Hollies Hall on Saturday 18^th December will be the first of many we hope, and our Councillors have agreed that the setting can be prioritised for use by the NHS through to the early part of 2022. This may cause some disruption to planned activities and bookings, but Councillors are keen to ensure the Town Council joins the national effort with the booster campaign. Locally, the New Hutte Centre in Halewood will also be offering drop-in vaccination clinics, with the first session coming this Sunday 19^th December.

Mayor of Halewood, Cllr Ken Dalton, speaking for Halewood Town Council, commented: “Councillors, The Town Manager and staff  are united in the plan to ready Hollies Hall for use as a local venue for the Covid-19 Booster programme. I encourage all of our residents, if not already jabbed or in receipt of their booster vaccination, to sign-up for an appointment or attend one of the drop-in clinics. The Covid-19 vaccination offers you the best protection from the virus and reduces your chances of getting seriously sick”.

The drop-in vaccination session at Hollies Hall opens at 10.00am and runs through to 4.00pm. If you need more advice, information on clinics near you or if you are struggling to get to a clinic, Healthwatch Knowsley are on hand to support. To find out more call 0151 449 3954 (Mon-Fri 9.00am to 5.00pm) and a member of the team will talk you through your options.

Knowsley Borough Council waste collection service have missed blue bins for green waste in the Halewood Area.

For missed bins, please leave your bin out for collection and collections will take place in the next 48 hours.

The collection service will be utilised to all affected roads as soon as possible.  Staff will be working over the weekend to clear the backlog.

The disruption to service is due to Covid and Long Covid staff absence.

Thank you for your patience at this difficult time.

Dear Residents,

Please note, resuming from Monday September 6th, between 7pm and 8pm and every week after, Councillor Ken Dalton will be taking Council Surgeries at the Arncliffe Sports & Community Centre, Halewood, L25 9PA.

The Council’s residual waste collection service (maroon bin) is unfortunately delayed due to very high numbers of staff absence, largely due to COVID-19 self-isolation.

To ensure that this week’s residual waste rounds are completed by the end of Friday the Council need to move staff currently delivering green garden waste collections (blue bin) onto the residual waste teams.

Consequently the planned green waste collections tomorrow and on Friday, in Halewood, will be undertaken over the weekend.

The Council’s contact centre and web-site is informing residents who have not received their normal collection, to leave their bins out and the Council will empty them as quickly as possible.

Weed Spraying

Street Scene Teams are working very hard, and a second weed spray is to be done by the end of next week.  Thank you for your patience.
