Libraries
The main county libraries are currently remaining open but with some changes to book borrowing, collections, and payment of fines.
Physical borrowing is now suspended.
Waste services (all districts)
Waste services are currently operating with a reduced number of staff. We are working hard to minimise any disruption and will prioritise refuse collections, food waste collections and clinical waste collections.
Country parks
All the county parks will remain open as normal - the sites are large open spaces where visitors will be able to maintain social distancing.
In light of the current situation, parking charges have been temporarily suspended at all our sites until further notice.
Season ticket holders will be automatically compensated with additional time added to their passes when they are renewed.
Fostering
Fostering Information Events are on hold for the time being. If you were planning to come to our event on Thursday 19 March in Aylesbury we’d like instead to offer you an appointment using either Skype, Facetime or a 1-1 phone call with a member of the fostering recruitment team. They will be happy to give you all the information you would receive at the events and will answer any questions you may have.
We will always need foster carers to come forward and are still here to talk to anyone considering fostering. Please do get in touch with the fostering team.
