Council services during hot weather
Due to the extreme temperatures and official warnings for Brighton & Hove which sees a red heat health alert in place, some services may need to change, but the majority of our services are operating as normal.
Temperatures are expected to exceed 35 degrees, with hot conditions continuing overnight. This is a rare alert and means everyone can be affected by the heat – including people who are normally well.
We are developing plans to resume normal service and address any disruption over the weekend.
However, this will depend on weather conditions over the next few days, as high temperatures may continue to affect what we can safely deliver.
We understand this may cause disruption and appreciate your patience. Our priority is to keep people safe during this period of extreme heat.
We will continue to share updates as soon as we have more information.
