People are being warned that bin collections may be delayed after a number of lorries were damaged. 

East Suffolk Council has said several waste collection vehicles based at their Ufford depot was vandalised over the weekend.

This has meant that garden waste collections may be delayed until the vehicles are back in use. 

A spokesman for East Suffolk Council said: "A number of waste collection vehicles used by East Suffolk Services were vandalised at our Ufford depot over the weekend, and require repair before they can return to duty.

"This will impact collections in the south of the district, therefore waste and recycling rounds will be prioritised ahead of garden waste for the time being.

"Any residents expecting a garden waste collection this week should still present their bins as normal and our teams will get to them as quickly as they can.

"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
