RESIDENTS will miss two garden waste collections as the council said it is still struggling from staff absences.
BCP Council told people in the conurbation that the suspension of garden waste collections would be extended to Friday, August 20.
It said: “Regrettably, we still have a significant number of waste collection staff absent in addition to vacancies.
“We've been unable to attract and retain agency workers to fulfil these roles which means that unfortunately, the suspension of garden waste collections will need to continue up to and including Friday, August 20.
“This decision affects all garden waste collections in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
“The four-week suspension means that you will miss two collections. We are now considering the options for how to make up for these missed collections and we will communicate this to you in due course.”
