Just a couple of months after Cannock Chase Council announced its intention to create a new urban woodland at Bradbury Lane in Hednesford, over 3,000 native trees and shrubs have been planted to date.

This significant achievement, with the help of the Forest of Mercia CIC, has come about thanks to the combined efforts of over 15 local volunteer groups and residents living nearby who have all been busy planting trees and shrubs in the past few weeks.

A mobile hairdresser has been prosecuted for breaching Covid restrictions during the last national lockdown.  On 20 January 2021, Nicola Watts left her home in Rishworth Avenue in Rugeley and drove to the home of another person where she carried out the services of a hairdresser.

Cannock Chase Council are proposing to implement a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) (Alcohol Restriction Zone) in the District.

Our crews are out attempting to collect today's (Monday 29 November) brown and blue bins.

Collections may be later than usual, please leave your bins out until they have been emptied.

The 2021/22 waste and recycling calendars are on their way to residents in Cannock Chase. 

Work on safety surfacing has started in play areas across the District, as the Council invests £50k in repairs.

With free parking on the Saturday’s leading up to Christmas, a week of Christmas street markets and events planned for our town centres, Christmas is coming to Cannock Chase.
