Eight East Lancashire household waste centres earmarked for closure (From Lancashire Telegraph)
Lancashire County Council are looking to close 8 recycling centres in East Lancs ... and replacing them with 1 super recycling centre each for burnley, rossendale, hyndburn and pendle.
Those earmarked for the axe are centres in Langho, Padiham, Great Harwood, Burnley, Accrington, Haslingden, Bacup and Colne.
However at this stage council bosses are at the planning stage, and may decide not to close any sites, instead ‘rationing’ the centres’ work.
So where would they put the super recycling centre in hyndburn .. theyre saying no one should have to travel more than 5 miles ...
