Flytipping - January 2020

As you are probably already aware, there has been an increase in flytipping in the last few months. We would like to remind residents, that should you have any items that you no longer want or need, please dispose of them correctly.

Items can be disposed of at our local recycling centre in Hortonwood. The recycling centre is open 7 days a week from 9am - 5pm. 


If you no longer want or need any household items, please consider selling them local for sale sites. Alternatively, please consider donating any items to local charity shops. In the current climate, there are people in need who may be able to make use of your unwanted items. 

Should you need any further information about flytipping, please visit their our local councils website

Instances of flytipping can be reported via the councils website or via their "Everyday Telford" app.


Cardboard recycling ♻️

We all have lots more cardboard to recycle at this time of year, and sometimes it won’t all fit in our blue bags. Fit in what you can, or break it down and place under your blue bag to keep it dry and stop it blowing away #Recycle #GreenChristmas #SustainableTW

Unwanted clothes 

You may have unwanted clothes that you want to get rid of. Please do not leave black bags of clothes on a pavement or on your street. 

There are clothes banks within the local area. There are clothes banks at Morrisons & near the petrol station at Tesco. We also have a new "Cash 4 Clothes" unit at the Wrekin Retail Park. Alternatively, please take your unwanted clothes to local charity shops or sell them online.


A statement from our local Police Team 

A large quantity of fly tipped refuse has been removed from the alley to the rear of Urban Garden’s, Wellington after being reported to West Mercia Police and Telford & Wrekin Council; evidence suggests that the rubbish present had been dumped by more than one person, and enquiries are ongoing to identify and deal with those responsible. Whilst it is likely a minority of individuals are responsible for this problem it is important to stress the need for the wider community to dispose of their waste responsibly.

Arleston Neighbourhood Watch - Best Neighbour 2021

We thought we would launch our very own competition to find Arleston's "Best Neighbour 2021" to coincide with "Neighbourhood Watch Week" We launched the competition via our social media channels and asked for residents to send in their nominations to us via our Facebook page. Entrants had to name who they wanted to nominate and why their neighbour should be named as "Best Neighbour". We received several nominations, which was fantastic!  We were pleasantly surprised by some of the reasons as to why nominee's had been nominated. It felt great to be launching such a lovely competition after such a difficult year that we have all been through. First nomination  Our first nomination was received by Claire Goonan who wanted to nominate Sarah Jayne Davies as "Best Neighbour". Claire's reasons for nominating Sarah were as follows: Hi I would like to nominate Sarah Davies for the best neighbour award. She is always happy to help out any one. ...

Meet our local councillor - Angela McClements

Hello Arleston Neighbourhood Scheme Members.   I thought I would introduce myself to you as the Borough Councillor for Arleston Ward.  I am proud of my Arleston roots and strongly believe in community pride and ensuring that the community work together on issues that are important to them.  Since being elected in 2007 I have worked hard across the ward, holding regular weekly surgeries at the Community Centre and have taken up hundreds of local issues right across Arleston.   I am delighted that a Neighbourhood Watch Group has been set up in Arleston recently and look forward to working alongside the Group and the local Arleston Police Team in tackling the issues that residents are concerned about.  I know that there are many residents who are concerned about anti-social behaviour and want to live in a strong, safe and friendly community.  That’s why a Neighbourhood Watch Group is important to reduce the fear of crime, improving home security an...
