Hampshire Tip Closure Reprieve!


The most recent Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) consultation finished on 12 July 2016.  One of the options the Tory run county council are proposing is to close some of the recycling centres.  There are only 24 of these dotted around the county, which is surprising when you think how big the county is and how many people live here.  The county council had considered closing half of them, but 92% of the public who responded to the consultation opposed this action.  Unlike the situation where an overwhelming majority of respondents to the Children’s Centre closures said they wanted them to remain open, but the Tory run county council will close most of them anyway.  In this case no HWRCs will close (For now).

However, the final decision will be made on the 22 July by the cabinet member for the Economy, Transport and the Environment.  It is muted that all tips will close a day week, opening hours reduced and an entry fee of £1 to every resident wanting to care for our planet by disposing waste responsibly.  The fact that the Tory Government has just abolished the Department for Energy and Climate Change, shows how much the Tories care about the world we live in.  Learn more…

    Most of what you point out is ashitosningly appropriate and it makes me wonder why I had not looked at this in this light before. This piece truly did switch the light on for me as far as this particular subject goes. Nevertheless there is actually one factor I am not really too cozy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual central theme of the position, let me observe what all the rest of the readers have to point out.Well done.

      Thank you. As you tell from the delay in my reply, keeping up with everything going on in our community is a very time consuming process
