Boston Borough Council's fortnightly green waste collection resumes on Saturday 5th April and continues until the autumn. The Bicker collection points are the Village Hall car park (from 8.00 a.m.) and the cul de sac at the Drury Lane/Donington Road intersection (from 9.00 a.m.). This latter location replaces the Old Chip Shop which will no longer be used. Information via Terry from George Bernard of Boston Borough Council, our speaker at the April meeting.
