Chelmsford City Council

@MarkFra01176222 @OfficialClarets Hi Mark - we don't look after roads or road closures. That's done by a different council.

@ChelmsCouncil have you got anything thing to do with closing Melbourne Avenue on the same night (tonight 23rd) @OfficialClarets have a home game? Is this not a classic case of poor planning? They rent it off you, it’s not like you didn’t know.

@MattDen82519810 Hi Matt - have you managed to complete the form? If you're still having problems, our recycling team should be able to help on 01245 615800 or you can contact them online here: chelmsford.gov.uk/your-council/c…

@ChelmsCouncil And then tells me the form can’t be completed without the year being put in

@ChelmsCouncil can’t complete the renewal as it tells me the subscription year is required. Where on the form does this need to go as I can’t see anywhere?

@GemJones575863 @mariecgoldman Hi Gem - we’re sorry to hear this and hope you’re ok. Essex Highways (Essex County Council) grits roads and pavements but we’ll pass your message on to them to let them know. Thank you for getting in touch

@ChelmsCouncil you guys didnt fancy gritting the high street despite knowing the weather conditions? Its a sheet of ice! Went over twice and smashed my elbow, people everywhere slipping over and hurting themselves. @mariecgoldman

@mjb8028 Hi Mark - bins are still being collected. There are a few changes to collection dates because of bank holidays over Christmas. You can check how this might affect you here: chelmsford.gov.uk/bins-and-recyc…

@ChelmsCouncil with the weather conditions are bins still being collected?? Where I used to live if it was slightly too cold they’d not bother - especially after Christmas when everyone’s bins are heaving

@Jockysink79 Thanks very much. We'll pass this along to the team.

Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year from us all at Chelmsford City Council.🎄

@WestlandsSch @ChelmsTheatre So glad to hear they had a lovely time! Thank you for the feedback - we'll pass it on to the theatre team

What a magical day yesterday! Our Year 1 and 2 children visited the Civic Theatre in Chelmsford and were in awe of the incredible performance of Aladdin. Their faces lit up from start to finish, a wonderful experience for all! 🎭💫 @ChelmsTheatre @ChelmsCouncil

The most important event of the season: BIN COLLECTIONS! 🚛🎅 Bins and recycling collection days will be different over the holiday period and into new year. 📢 Here's how.

@sixintheCan @HylandsSchool Thanks, James. We'll check in with the team on this.

@Simonlovesfood Hi Simon, crossings would come under Essex Highways rather than the city council. You can report a fault directly on their website (essexhighways.org/tell-us) or get in touch with their account if you prefer

@ChelmsCouncil not surbehow to report on your website, the pedestrian crossings by the prison on Springfield road keep turning off so the green man never comes on. I believe that's your domain rather than Essex cc. May want someone to check it please.

🎵 Huge news! 🎵 Neil Young, Kings of Leon and The Lumineers are coming to Chelmsford! Check out: statefayre.com Tickets on sale soon.

The focused consultation is open now and will run until Thursday 8 January. You can read the proposals on the council's website or visit one of our upcoming public exhibitions. Find out more and get involved: chelmsford.gov.uk/planning-and-b…

This focused consultation is a chance to share your thoughts on proposed changes to ensure a supply of new homes for the first five years of the plan to help meet the Government’s increased housing needs target.

A focused consultation on Chelmsford's draft Local Plan begins today. The Local Plan is reviewed every five years to make sure future growth across the district continues to evolve in a sustainable way, and that development is responsibly planned.

@davehewy Hi Dave - sorry to hear this has caused delays. Highways, roadworks and buses are covered by Essex County Council. If you'd like to report this as an issue, you can let them know on the Essex Highways website: essexhighways.org/tell-us

@ChelmsCouncil are you looking into a solution for this at all? It’s just the traffic lights to turn onto Broomfield road that cause it, combined with school traffic. Incentivize getting school kids back on buses?

@djbuckz We don't look after roads. You'd need to ask Essex Highways about this

@NandoDorris We don't run roadworks @NandoDorris - that's Essex Highways. There is a tool on their website if you'd like to report any issues you've experienced: essexhighways.org/tell-us
