Overview

• Residents in designated pannage areas who received council letters must present food waste caddies behind property gates.
• The instruction is in effect for the pannage period, when pigs are released on the open Forest from around September 15.
• Additional crews and vehicles are being deployed to collect caddies from behind gates at these addresses.
• Councillors approved the pannage adjustment on September 15, budgeting about £150,000, with a £151,000 DEFRA grant supporting additional measures.
• Residents are asked to report bin–animal incidents on the council website as longer‑term arrangements are developed and phase two of the rollout begins on October 20.
