Tip campaigner submits 800-signature petition to county

* The Pavilion car park where the pop-recycling facility is normally sited. 

The Llangollen resident campaigning for the return of a full-time recycling site to serve the area has now sent in an 800-signature petition to county council chiefs backing his argument.

Phil Jones said: "Yesterday I submitted our recycling campaign petition to Denbighshire County Council (DCC). 

"In just six weeks we secured over 800 signatures in support of our call for access to the Plas Madoc recycling site.

"I think this is a measure of the frustration and anger felt by the community that daily access to a recycling facility requires a 30-mile round trip to Ruthin, when we have one on our doorstep at Plas Madoc."

He added: "In my opinion, this level of support is a clear indication that no tinkering with times and booking systems at the Pavilion pop-up will properly address our recycling needs. 

"I have asked the Chief Executive of DCC for an update on the negotiations with Wrexham CBC. 

"I hope that both she and our county councillors now understand the strength of feeling that we are not getting a proper service and we are fast approaching 12 months since this issue was raised."
