County councillor Matthew Jenkins has called for an expansion at Worcester s Household Recycling Centre or a new city tip, to stop cars queuing. The Green Party councillor said: “Whenever the site is busy the queue quickly ends up on Bilford Road, causing huge problems. The two solutions I see to this are either to create more space within the site itself or to look at an additional site for Worcester, probably to the south of the city where all the new house building is planned”. The Green Party says the land at the back of the tip could be used to create more space to allow more cars to queue on the site. The space is currently being used for additional storage for the site.

Speaking at the environment, sustainability and carbon reduction city policy committee earlier this week, Glasgow City Council’s Sharon McKechnie insisted the local authority may need to make the “tough decision” to help recycling efforts. The warning comes after staff were quizzed about the effectiveness of the controversial three-weekly bin collection, which is due to be rolled out to main door properties across the north west of the city from February 22. Labour’s Councillor Paul Carey insisted homes in the city’s north east, which have been living with the reduced refuse collections since the pilot launched in October, had been purchasing additional green bins to combat excess waste.

Councillor Eva Murray, depute leader of the Glasgow Labour group, said: “My inbox has been full of emails from frustrated constituents since information of this change dropped late last week and the consultation that I launched on Saturday has already received many comments from local people.” It comes after a petition started at the weekend to reverse the move gathered more than 1,400 signatures. A spokesman said: “The change to three weekly collections for green bins from houses is all about encouraging households to recycle more.
