Bin collections 

Due to the high temperatures forecasted, 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 6.00am for the rest of the week. Thank you for helping our crews work safely during the hot weather.

Have your say on older people's services in Guildford

We have explored combining our older people's services. We sought to improve, modernise and tailor these services at one location - The Hive at Park Barn Drive in Guildford. 

The Shawfield Day Centre needs an upgrade to meet our vision for older people's services. Our vision was to:

  • support people of all ages to live well and independently
  • to provide care that is accessible and upholds the confidence, participation, self-fulfilment and dignity of older people at all times.

We want to provide our elderly residents with the care they deserve. We proposed that day care services provided for older people at the Shawfield Centre combines into the Activity Hub at The Hive. We can have intergenerational and social activities for older people 5 days a week, alongside lunch provision.

Community transport can pick up customers up from across the borough. This will ensure everyone is able to receive care and support. No-one will be at a disadvantage because of where they live.

Alongside the older people's Activity Hub, customers will have access to:

  • a family coffee shop
  • hairdresser
  • podiatry service
  • community fridge
  • community wellbeing programmes
