All the Council s Household Waste Recycling Centres are shut to the public today after the deluge of snow this morning, which is causing chaos on the roads with treacherous driving conditions.

We apologise if this causes anyone any problems.
CALDERDALE Council has warned that the area is at ‘critical risk’ amid a rise in cases and hospital admissions. In a statement today, the council’s leader Cllr Tim Swift described “growing pressure on the hospital” and urged residents to protect themselves and others by staying home. Residents must stay home except for essential reasons such as food shopping, exercise within the local area and medical appointments. The leader said: “COVID-19 cases are rising rapidly in Calderdale and there is growing pressure on the hospital. We are at critical risk if we don’t step up the action we’ve been taking in recent months.
