What do I do if a collection is cancelled?

If the collection is cancelled in advance, for example due to lack of volunteers, we request that the council be notified. The issued permit should be returned to us so that we may issue another permit for the vacated date. In this case, no further paperwork relating to this collection will be required.

If the Licensing Team does not receive notification of cancellation or if the collection does not take place due to unforeseen circumstances, like bad weather, a statement of form needs to be returned. This should be returned within one month of the cancelled collection date, showing 'nil' entries. Please also include a short covering letter explaining the reasons for the cancellation.
