Bucks Council has announced it is running reduced services on Monday (19 September) due to the recently confirmed bank holiday.

On Sunday (11 September), it was chosen as the date for Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral and made a national bank holiday.

Bucks Council isn’t closing all its services so people attending pre-booked events can still receive support.

A local authority spokesperson said: “The council’s registrars and crematoria and cemeteries services will honour the commitments to ceremonies and services that are already booked. In addition to this, members of the public will still be able to access council buildings hosting books of condolence between 9am – 5pm.”

Other services will be closed on Monday, the council reached this decision to allow its employees to pay their respects and observe the funeral.

More information on the service closures can be found on the local authority’s website, which includes postponements to adult learning sessions and children’s activities.
