THE BANK holiday weekend is yawning invitingly ahead, but which council services will be available to residents in Lewisham?

Libraries will be open on Saturday and Sunday – with normal opening hours applying - but will close for the Monday.

Leisure centres will remain open throughout the three-day weekend and will follow weekend timings.

There will be no rubbish or recycling picked up on Monday (August 27) and collection days will be pushed back one day for the rest of the week e.g. rubbish normally taken away on Monday will take place on Tuesday.

The reuse and recycling centre at Landmann Way will remain open and garden waste deposit points will be available on Saturday and Sunday.
