Doncaster Council stopped collections yesterday as 'Beast from the East' blizzards blanketed the town under several inches of snow and the decision has been taken to extend the suspension into today.

A spokesman said: "The decision has been made now to suspend collections again today. The advice for tomorrow will be to present bins/boxes as normal unless told otherwise."
