A spokesperson for the Lewes District Council said, “Due to the severe weather warnings issued by the Met Office we have taken the difficult decision to suspend waste collections today.

“We understand this is not convenient for residents, but we must prioritise the safety of our staff above all else.

“If you are able and it is safe to do so, please take your waste containers back in from the kerbside, to reduce the risk of these being blown into the public highway.”
