Don’t miss out on this fun and free event.

Starting in April 2022, white nappy sacks with the Three Rivers District Council logo can be purchased online. These will be collected once a fortnight, at the same time your refuse bin is emptied, provided they are left next to the green refuse bin.

Hertfordshire Libraries provides the Home Library Service delivering books to some of the most vulnerable and isolated people in the county. Many of our customers regard the service as a “lifeline,” and value the regular collections of books which are tailored to their interests and delivered to them in their own home by a friendly and familiar face.

The Home Library Service supports people who are unable to get to the library, for example those who:

• have a physical disability which prevents travelling to a library
• have a learning disability or mental health condition that makes it difficult to leave home alone
• are registered blind (severely sight impaired)
• are frail or in poor health which means they can’t get to a library
• are a carer looking after someone affected by any of the above, and their caring responsibilities prevent them from getting to the library.

If you know of anyone who is eligible and would like to receive the Home Library Service, please contact your library via the Customer Service Centre on 0300 123 4049.

Thanks to a fantastic initiative called Refill, topping up your water bottle when out and about is even easier. Refill Hertfordshire allows public places – such as cafés, pubs, takeaways and restaurants – to register as Refill Stations that will happily refill your bottle with free tap water on request.

The app now also shows where you can get coffee refills with a discount for bringing your own cup, shops where you can refill your own containers, and lunch venues where you can order to go in your own containers too. They’ve taken steps to make sure everything is as Covid safe as possible too.

There are more than 300 Refill Stations registered in Hertfordshire. There are two water fountains in Abbots Langley at:

• Manor House Grounds – next to the Manor House (what3words///intelligible.nest.firm)
• South Way – next to the play area (what3words ///birds.august.retain)

You can find your nearest Refill stations on the go by downloading the Refill app or keeping an eye out for Refill window stickers.
