They might be for litter and dog poo but they don't have to look rubbish!

As well as having the town's many litter bins cleansed and grafitti removed the Town Council has also purchased new bins to replace some of the older style bins transferred from Northumberland County Council.

Next week will see the litter bins installed, so if when you are out and about you notice your favourite litter bin is missing, please be patient, it will be replaced. 

New bins are being installed at the Edgewell Bus Shelters (on the B6395) and at Scales Cresent, West Wylam.

Replacement bins are being installed at West Wylam Shopping Centre, Drawback, Moor Road, Redwell Road (top and bottom), Hillcrest, Highfield Lane, Eltringham/Mickley Junction, Kepwell Bank Top, Mickley Field, West Mickley Play Area, Oakfield Terrace and Castlefields Drive/The Lonnen.

Please help keep the town looking tidy by using the litter bins provided by Prudhoe Town Council and emptied by Northumberland County Council.

Remember all bins are dual purpose so can be used for litter and dog waste.
