1.Rose Hill Tip
Some of you will have seen the tip is re-opening tomorrow (Saturday 30th). Bredbury will also be extending its hours from weekends only, to 7 days. Details are on the Council web site but not under “recycling Centres”! The best place to find this is under “news”. Details are:
Rose Hill: open 9am to 6pm on Saturday 30th May then from Sunday 8am to 6pm every day.
Bredbury: open every day 8am to 6pm
You can take:
• General waste (including small bulky items)
• Cardboard
• Garden waste (excluding soil)
• Wood and timber
• Scrap metal
• Rubble
Recycling Centre Rules are
• Only 1 person allowed out of the vehicle
• Keep 2 metres apart at all times.
• Cars and small vans only – No transit type vans and vehicles with trailers
• No pedestrian access
• Staff will not be able to help unload your vehicle
• Please take proof of address with you such as your council tax bill, gas or electric bill to show you live in one of the 9 councils in Greater Manchester. You can show your bill on your mobile phone.
• Trade waste is not allowed.
• Please note a traffic management system by number plate will be in place. This is based on odd and even number plates and works on a rota system by day.

On that last point, personally I think it’s confusing how they’ve done it so please look at the web page. As a quick guide, Saturday is even, Sunday is odd numbers.

2. Testing
There is a section on the Stockport Council web site about getting tested for the virus. If you’re eligible for a test you should mail testing@stockport.gov.uk after which you will be sent a request form for completion, which will lead to you being given a booking slot. Full details are on https://www.stockport.gov.uk/coronavirus-getting-tested
