• Warrington residents will be getting a 4th bin……(for food waste) ♻️

Grab your favourite brew, and let's start. ☕️

Your New Favourite Brunch Spot? 🥯 

There’s a new cafe opened on the corner of Sankey and Legh Street (where 9 Gallon used to be) called Alma.

Have you been in and tried yet? Let us know what you thought, as it certainly seemed popular. Here is a link to their Instagram.

Did You Listen To Our Podcast Last Week? 🎙️ 

The second episode of the Warrington Scoop podcast was released last week, and we received some great feedback from the audience, with many of you giving it a listen.

If you haven’t had the chance to listen, you can check it out here (links to all your favourite podcast apps). We talk about what’s happening over the summer, and talk to Walton Gardens about the new baby red squirrels!

Warrington residents will be getting a 4th bin……(for food waste) ♻️

Warrington’s new food waste collections aren’t starting until April 2026, but the council has just confirmed that the caddies will arrive this September.

You’ll get:

• A 5-litre indoor caddy

• A 23-litre outdoor caddy

• A roll of liners

This new service is being introduced by law, and it’ll mean most homes will now have three bins (or four if you use the green bin too).

Warrington Wordle 🧠 

Thanks to everyone who has enjoyed Wordle over the past year. I have enjoyed coming up with the answers and love getting replies from people to see how they got on (and how frustrated some of you get 🤣)

Every Wordle is in some way related to Warrington.
