Broomsdene Household Waste Recycling Centre (Stony Heaps tip) is due to be improved along with 14 other sites across the county.

The intention is to make the site safer and more convenient to use whilst at the same time improving rates of recycling  and sending less to landfill.

The imporovements are due to start on April 16th and to be completed by May 24th. During that period we’ll have to divert to the nearest alternative at Annfield Plain.

If you have useful suggestions to make, or queries to put, the process will be managed by Jo Lane on 0191 383 6407 or 0191 383 5674.
