    Bin collections to begin earlier for crew safety as temperatures rise in Milton Keynes

    A decision has been made for bin collections to begin an hour earlier for the safety of the staff.

    Milton Keynes residents are being told to ensure their waste is out for collection at 6am, as crews are set to be working an hour earlier each day.

    It comes as an operational decision, with impact from the crews, to try and keep working conditions as safe as possible. 

    Temperatures are set to remain high throughout the week, with the middle of the day being the hottest.

    The decision comes as an extreme heat weather warning has been issued by The Met Office, covering Milton Keynes.

    The heat alert highlights expected adverse health effects for the public - not just limited to those most vulnerable to extreme heat like the previous issued warning.

    Temperatures are set to soar into the 30s on Sunday, with The Met Office expecting the temperatures to extend into next week.
