People are being urged to check online due to changing nature of services because of virus

PEOPLE are being urged to check online for the latest updates on Leicestershire County Council’s services as the Omicron surge continues.

Currently most services are running as normal, including those that support vulnerable people, though staff shortages are inevitably starting to have impact on some operations.

Residents can find the latest updates at www.leicestershire.gov.uk/services

Services affected include: • Waste and recycling sites - where a

significant number of front-line workers are off and temporary closures or reduced opening hours may be required • Some home to school and special

educational needs transport services – parents will be contacted if their transport is not available
