SKIPS will be provided at Ryall Grove, Uckinghall, The Woodlands and Naunton over the weekend.

Mike Ostick, of Ripple Parish Council, said their purpose was to provide for parishioners who were unable to take bulky waste to the tip at Upton.

He described the service, which is organised annually by the parish council, as being very popular "particularly at this time of year, when people are getting their gardens ready for winter".

The skips will be delivered today (Friday) and taken away on Monday (November 4).
