Invitation to Carlton Cricket Club

The new cricket season is underway at Carlton Cricket Club in Grange Loan and, as always, the club is keen to welcome neighbours and members of the local community to the club.

There are matches played at the ground every Saturday and Sunday afternoon until early September. With the bar open and afternoon teas available, and the Carlton hill providing a natural and often sunny vantage point, there is no better way of spending a relaxing afternoon enjoying a game of cricket. Please feel free to drop in and have a look round on match days - you`ll be made very welcome. You could also consider becoming a non-playing member.

More details, including a list of fixtures, can be found on the club`s web site.

Free compost available on 9 May at Sciennes School from noon

The Council is giving away free bags of compost made from resident’s recycled garden waste to mark the return of fortnightly garden waste collections and to thank residents for using the service. 

The event in the South neighbourhood is on Friday 9 May, at Sciennes Primary School from 12.05 until stocks run out.

Officers will be on hand to provide information about all our recycling services, and will have some food waste kitchen caddies and liners to give to those who need them.
