Red weather warning - Storm Eowyn

Published: 23 January 2025 (UPDATED 24/1/25 at 4PM)
All our services are expected to return to normal from Monday 27 January.
Checks to buildings will be carried out to assess any issues caused by Storm Eowyn, which would allow our schools, nursery classes and family centres to open on Monday morning.
Eastwood HQ and Barrhead office buildings are also expected to re-open from Monday.

Bin collections
Green bins not collected due to the storm will be collected on Monday 27 January instead. There will be no brown bins collected on Monday 27 January, this includes any missed on Friday 24 January - they will be emptied again on their next scheduled collection day.
Barrhead and Greenhags recycling centres are expected to open as normal from Saturday 25 January.
Health and Social Care
Health and social care services usually delivered across the weekend are expected to return to normal throughout the weekend. We will aim for full services resuming from Monday 27 January.
We appreciate the support from families and neighbours providing care for their loved ones and would ask, where possible, that this continues over the weekend to allow services to get back up-and-running.
