[Kirklees Council @KirkleesCouncil]

Our crews are working hard to collect your waste but with more people at home we’re struggling to get down some streets. Please leave room for our wagons to get past and manoeuvre on your collection day so that we can empty everyone’s bins.

[Kirklees Libraries @KirkleesLibrary]

In the interest of ensuring fairer access to eBooks for all users at this time of unprecedented demand, we've limited the maximum no of items that can be borrowed to 10. Also, our librarians are working hard to buy new titles & extra copies of popular items for your enjoyment!

We're busy compiling info that is useful to our families & communities - this is in addition to the learning materials our schools are sending home.

Covid-19 Update...We will continue to get as much out as possible this week before the schools close. Then we will move to a limited service. Requests may take longer than a week. Feel free to get your orders in for September to relieve the pressure on the summer holiday!
