RUBBISH will now be collected in North Wiltshire as weather conditions have dramatically improved.

Anyone in Purton, Wootton Bassett and Cricklade whose bins would normally be collected today are asked to put them out as normal.

North Wiltshire District Council said in a statement: "The situation is being monitored hourly and at 10.30am it was decided it was safe enough to allow collections to resume.

"If you have rubbish that would normally be collected on a Wednesday then you are asked to leave this out. Refuse collection maybe later than would normally take place and there is a possibility that not all refuse will be collected today."

The council apologised for any inconvenience.
