Local Services

Many of our services are provided in the neighbouring villages of Ashleworth, Tirley and Staunton. Tewkesbury Borough Council (TBC) provides refuse collection, recycling, etc. and Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) is responsible for highways and footpaths. 

Refuse Collection and Recycling

- Bin day is Tuesday. If there is a bank holiday on the Monday, the collection is most likely to be moved to Wednesday. Collections alternate between green refuse bins and blue recycling bins. Food waste caddies are collected every week. The 2021-22 collection calendar is here. Bins must be left out, ready for collection, from 7:00am.

For Christmas collections, see here.

- During floods, or if holiday collections are missed, blue one-off recycling bags can be collected from Jenny Miles, Rowan Cottage, 780565

- Christmas trees can be recycled in your brown bin as part of the garden waste collection service. If the tree is taller than 6ft, please cut it so that it fits in the bin and can be emptied safety into the vehicle. If you do not have a brown bin, you can take your tree to one of a number of garden centres in the borough and it will be collected and composted.

Footpaths, Verges and Bird-Watching

- Hasfield has some excellent footpath walks - see map here. It is the responsibility of landowners to maintain styles and gates, although carrying a pair of secateurs with you to trim brambles is always a good idea. Gloucestershire Highways are responsible for the footpath surface, footbridges and signage, and issues can be reported here. Walks in the wider area can be found here.

- A number of our local verges are covered by biodiversity conservation, and so are likely to remain uncut - see here for local maps, or here for the full county list. The council also publishes a Highways & Biodiversity Guidance here.

- Ashleworth Ham on Ham Road is managed as a nature reserve by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. During the winter it becomes the perfect habitat for wildfowl including pintails, teal, shovelers, tufted ducks, pochards, wigeons, goldeneyes and great crested grebes and little grebes. Details here.

Police and Emergency Services

- Our nominated PCSO (police community support officer) is James King. He can be contacted for non-emergency calls on 01452 907330, or via https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/neighbourhood-policing/. He encourages villagers to report any suspicions or concerns.

- We are quite a way from Tewkesbury and Gloucester, and post codes cover wide areas. Download What3Words to your phone so that you can easily give a very exact location.
