Benefits

There are a number of benefits of recycling,

	Recycling will save you money
	Recycling conserves natural resources
	Recycling saves energy
	Recycling saves landfill space
	Recycling protects the environment

It is up to you to buy recycled products and 'close the loop'. This will boost markets for recycled products, making recycling more worthwhile and economically viable.

How many residents are there in Sandhurst?

A: The Sandhurst area (Central Sandhurst, College Town, Little Sandhurst & Wellington and Owlsmoor wards) has a total population of 22,314 (2001 census), almost equally split between males (11,639) and females (10,675).

The average age of 34 years old is only just below the borough average of 35 with individual age categories also equating well to borough averages.

The four wards in the Sandhurst area are some of the least deprived in the country (with 1 being most and 8414 being least deprived):

	Central Sandhurst: 7614
	College Town: 8188
	Owlsmoor: 8284
	Little Sandhurst & Wellington: 8370

Can I speak at a Council Meeting ?

A: Yes. There is a formal public question time prior to Full Council Meetings and you may be allowed to speak at Committee Meetings at the Chairman's discretion.

If you have an issue that is pressing that you wish the Council to consider then, in the first instance, write to the Council. If your issue can wait then you have an opportunity to put your questions or comments to the Council at the Annual Town Meeting. Another approach you may take is to ask your own Councillor to take the matter up on your behalf.

Can I write to the Council ?

A: You may write to the Council Offices or you may write to your individual Councillor.
