A cash-strapped council insists it is “exploring all possibilities” over the potential closure of some of the county's recycling centres after opposition councillors called for a rethink.
A cash-strapped council insists it is “exploring all possibilities” over the potential closure of some of the county's recycling centres after opposition councillors called for a rethink.
“Whilst the 24/25 budget includes a series of individual actions or areas where we are looking to achieve cost reductions, in delivering those savings we are focussed on trying to mitigate the impact wherever possible. We do have to deliver savings but we are exploring all possibilities as to how we achieve them,” he said.
Mitigation proposals suggested by Councillor Boddington to raise the cash needed to keep the centres open included reducing the opening hours at all centres, and an increase of proposed charges for green waste collections from a planned £52 per year to £60.
