Defibrillator Awareness Training

We have arranged some Defibrillator Awareness training with a Community First Responder from South Central Ambulance Service for anyone interested to learn more about the defibrillator and how it works.

There will probably be some basic first aid training too.

Come and join us on Saturday 27 January at 10am until 12noon in the Parish Hall (refreshments provided).

The Parish Council will be making a donation to the Community First Responder, but any other contributions will be welcome.

We will need to know numbers so please email clerk@launton-pc.gov.uk / or leave a message / text 07305 303889 with your name and contact details if you would like to join us.

Advance Notice about Christmas Refuse collections

Advanced Notice about refuse, recycling, and food waste collections over Christmas and New Year.

From Tuesday 26 December 2023, the bin collections will be a day later than usual.

In Launton this means that the green and food caddy bins will need to be out ready for collection by 7.00am on Wednesday 27 December.

Normal collections will resume on on Tuesday 2 January with the blue (recycling) and food waste.

Garden Waste Collections
The Garden Waste collections will be suspended for two weeks from Tuesday 26 December until and including Friday 5 January, to allow crews to prioritise the additional recycling and food waste that accrues over Christmas.

Any garden waste which can’t wait for the next collection (on 16 January) can be taken to the local Household Waste Recycling Centre at Ardley.

Christmas tree recycling
CDC will be collecting real Christmas trees from Tuesday 9 January until and including Friday 19 January.  Launton’s date will be 16 January.  Please ensure that all lights and decorations have been removed from the tree.

Any tree that is over 5ft / 1.5m tall must be cut in half.
