We are very sorry for this ongoing disruption, which is caused by a combination of issues - including staff sickness and a national shortage of agency workers and HGV drivers.

Please be assured we are working with our partners at Veolia and West Northants Norse to resolve this situation and minimise disruption as much as possible.
