Critical services will continue as usual in Tendring during the upcoming Christmas and New Year period as most frontline services keep running for residents.

Tendring District Council will be delivering its essential front line services and will handle emergencies over the Christmas period, but will be closing its virtual offices from 4pm on Thursday, 23 December until they re-open again fully from 8.45am on Tuesday, 4 January, 2022. In an emergency which requires TDC’s assistance residents can contact the council’s Control Centre on 01255 222022, available 24/7.

Waste and recycling collections will continue, with some changes around the bank holidays which will be announced later. More information can be found on TDC’s Christmas services web page, which has full details of seasonal changes to services at https://www.tendringdc.gov.uk/christmasservices
