In Trench – Junction of Wombridge Road with Teagues Crescent; Gibbons Road, opposite the Labour Club; Half way down Gibbons Road and by the gate to the Sutherland School; two bins near One Stop Shops and Stars Shop, Trench Road; near the Sun Tan Shop and near Trench Fish Bar; near the Laundrette, Furnace Lane.
In Wrockwardine Wood – outside Top Shop, New Road; corner of Plough Road and Canal Side near Wade Road. Also in Wrockwardine Wood bins will be installed at two new sites – in the vicinity of the sloped walkway at the top of New Road (just around the corner from the closed steps) and near the new bus shelter outside Holy Trinity Church.

Community Fun Day
We hope everyone enjoyed our fun day held at Oakengates Leisure Centre on 2nd September. We were very pleased that the rain held off until the finish, despite the dark clouds in the photograph.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to making the day a success. We would like to give special thanks to the ladies who did the catering; they worked extremely hard on the day cooking almost 400 burgers and sausages.
We would also like to thank Oakengates Town Council and Lilleshall and Donnington Parish Council who joined with us this year and gave both financial and physical support and a big thank you to West Mercia Police, Local Police Teams, especially LPO John Walters and CSOs Graham Strong and Richard Harrison for all their hard work and organisation towards the event and on the day itself.
