Hot weather

The Met Office (opens new window) has forecast hot weather across Guildford. Read our advice during hot weather.

Bin collections

Due to the high temperatures, our bin crews will be starting collections earlier than usual to help keep them safe in the heat. Please make sure your bins are out the night before, as collections will take place from 5.30am for the rest of the week. Thank you for helping our crews work safely during the hot weather.

Organising an event - Safety Advisory Group

How to refer your event to the Safety Advisory Group

Before submitting your application we would recommend you consider the following:

  • is there an event management plan and risk assessment? This will evolve and can be draft.
  • is there a team of people to help organise and run the event and are their responsibilities clear?
  • do you have contingency plans?
  • do you have a realistic budget?
  • do you have adequate insurance?

If you wish to continue with referring your event to the Safety Advisory Group you need to:

Give as much notice of your event as possible. A large complex event can take 12 months to plan. All the necessary permissions, such as road closures, must be in place if needed.
