Council staff hosted an information stall at the Core, taking place to mark Clean Air Day.
The annual campaign is focused on raising awareness of the impact of air quality on people’s health and wellbeing.
From Monday 7 July 2025, there will be a charge for using the garden waste collection service.
This is in line with most other councils in the West Midlands and the majority of councils in the country.
