Thank you to the hundreds of people who gathered at the Cenotaph, Runcorn, and the War Memorial, Widnes, for the Civic Services of Remembrance to pay their respects to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
We will remember them.

Halton Council retweeted
To mark Remembrance Sunday, St Mary’s West Bank and its community in Widnes have created a tumbling array of more than 15,000 hand-made poppies that pour down from the church tower.
Read the full story at cofe.io/StMarysPoppies.
🚛 If you're waiting for a new or replacement bin (or food caddy), crews are working to deliver these as quickly as possible.
✅If you've requested a replacement and have a damaged bin that needs collecting, please leave it somewhere visible and easy for crews to access.

🎃 Once spooky season is over, use your weekly food waste collection service to recycle it, instead of putting it in your black bin (where it will sit for up to 2 weeks).

🩷 Going pink for a great cause. A huge well done to our #ActiveHalton team, who dressed in pink to support #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth and raised an amazing £170!
Thank you to everyone who got involved, donated, and helped raise awareness for the cause.
