The local man campaigning for Dee Valley people to be able to share a household waste recycling facility with neighbouring Wrexham has written an open letter to Llangollen's two county councillors calling for details of negotiations.
Phil Jones organised a 900-signature petition calling for an agreement between the two councils enabling residents in this area to be able to use the Plas Madoc tip rather than having to drive over to Ruthin.
As a result of an update on the situation being given to members of the Town Council at their meeting last night by Cllr Melvyn Mile, who sits on both the town and county councils, Mr Jones has sent an open letter him and his county colleague Cllr Graham Timms on the subject.
He has also sent a copy to llanblogger for publication.
Mr Jones writes: "I listened with dismay to the comments you (Cllr. Mile) made when providing an update at the recent meeting of the Town Council on the outstanding issue of access to the Plas Madoc recycling centre.
"I note that the officer report on this matter was not produced in time for it to be considered at the meeting of the Dee Valley Member Area Group (MAG) held last Monday.
"It concerned me greatly that you thought it ‘very
unlikely’ that we would get access to Plas Madoc. If your opinion proves to be
correct, I think the public has a right to know the full details of this issue.
I therefore request that you provide me with a copy of the said report and the
financial analysis which must have been done to underpin its recommendations.
"Please note that over 900 of your electors are demanding
access to the Plas Madoc facility. Please also note that DCC spends far more
per capita on waste in towns like Ruthin and Denbigh than it does for residents
of the Dee Valley. We expect a service equal to that enjoyed by other residents
of Denbighshire, and we expect you to fight for this on our behalf.
Regards Phil Jones"
