📣 On Monday 22 June at 10am, the Mayor of Chelmsford will lead a ceremony at Chelmsford's war memorial, raising a flag to mark Armed Forces Day. 📣

The event honours Britain’s Armed Forces of the past, present, and future — from serving personnel to service families, veterans, and cadets. 🎖️

Armed Forces Day traditionally takes place on the last Saturday in June. The Armed Forces Day flag will fly over the Civic Centre until Monday 29 June.

Chelmsford City Council joins a host of other local authorities raising Armed Forces Day flags across the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man. ❤️

With the hot weather looking set to return, here's our annual plea to not use overflowing bins. 🙏

We know it's annoying to find a bin full when you get to it. On hot summer days, they fill up really fast. 😅

You can help make Chelmsford a lovely place for everyone by finding another bin, or taking rubbish home with you. 🏠

Whether it's by a bin, on a bin, or formerly in a bin, it's still litter at the end of the day. We need everyone's help to keep Chelmsford tidy. 💚

Thanks, all.

Have you seen the newly-painted bollards on Barrack Square next to Stone Bridge? They look SWISH! 😍

Bec Finllium () 👏 Gavin Ives, Isobella K 👏 Kirsten 👏 Leonnie Fisher () 👏 Lisa Kavanagh (art.and.kav) 👏 Livi 👏 Nick Hearne () 👏 Spark! Youth Forum () 👏 This is Lost Boy () 👏 Tyler Harragan () 👏

They’re well worth a riverside detour if you’re near that end of the High Street. 🌊

Your old stuff shouldn't be everyone else's problem. 🫠

We collect unwanted sofas and some other large items. Or if you can’t wait, you can book a licensed waste carrier. 🤦

If you reported either of these fly tips — thank you. We especially appreciate when people take a few moments to point out offences like these so we can investigate. 🙏

We’re on the case. 🕵️‍♀️

Community spirit in action! 🫶

It’s a wrap for VolFEST – Chelmsford’s annual celebration of compassion and connection. Great conversations were had, the sun shone (mostly!) and there were adorable dogs. 🦮

Every year, this event helps people to find support from local organisations and showcases the amazing work being done across our city.

A very big thank you to the 50 or so local charities and community groups who spent the day in the High Street. We’re lucky to have such dedicated support services in our city. 🤗

If you couldn’t come but would like to find out more, give Chelmsford CVS a follow or visit their website 👇

The party’s started on Tindal Square! 🏏🧑‍🩰

Do swing by if you’re in the city. You might even see a player or two… 📝

Big thanks to Essex Cultural Diversity Project for today.

⚠️ Fly tip: COUNCIL AWARE. ⚠️

If you see a fly tip with council stickers or tape on it, you might wonder why we haven’t already removed it. 🤔

Dealing with fly-tipping is about more than clearing up. It’s about discouraging it in the first place. To do that, we need to hold people responsible, and to do that we need to investigate the “scene of the grime”. 🕵️‍♀️🔍

So, if you see a council sticker or tape on a fly tip, please rest assured we’re doing everything we can to deal with all aspects of the case in a methodical way. 🧮

International cricket is coming to Chelmsford this Thursday 28 May, and if you don’t have a ticket, you don’t need to miss out on the fun! 🎊

To mark the international T20 match between England Women and India Women, Tindal Square will host an afternoon of celebrations commissioned by Essex Cultural Diversity Project, including…

🎵 Bhangra dancers

🥁 Dhol drummers

🖌️ Henna artists

Festivities begin at Tindal Square from 1pm. At 4.30pm there’ll be a procession from the square to the Essex County Ground. 🎈

If you follow cricket, you’ll know this is a big day for Chelmsford. And if you don’t, don’t worry — you can still enjoy the party. 🥳

Should be a blast! 🏏
