The sites were closed temporarily in March to ensure the safety of residents and staff, and to limit the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Social distancing measures will be in place when the sites reopen, the number of people visiting at any one time will be restricted and there may be limits on the waste which can be accepted.

A visit should only be undertaken if the journey can be considered essential.

Central government advice still stands: Stay Home; Protect The NHS; Save Lives
