The bin collections in Norwich will be later than normal over the festive period for the next three weeks.

Norwich City Council has announced the changes and confirmed that there will be no garden waste collections for two weeks from December 25 to January 5.

As Christmas Day and Boxing Day fall on a Monday and Tuesday this year, all bin collections on that week will be pushed back by two days.
