Phil Jones, the man behind the on-going campaign to see Llangollen people secure easier access to recycling facilities has given his latest update on the situation. He writes:
"Recycling; the quest for a service.
It;s been quite a while since I posted an update and you may be wondering if we will ever get access to the Plas Madoc recycling site.
In the last local Government elections we voted in two new County Councillors who stood on a platform to get a proper recycling service re-established in the Dee Valley. Councillor Karen Edwards has been working hard to move progress on this issue.
Discussions are underway between Denbighshire CC officers and their counter-parts in Wrexham to establish the cost to DCC for this service provision by our neighbouring Council.
Discussions within the Council begin at this time of year to establish how services will be funded in the coming financial year. Karen Edwards is working to make sure that a costed proposal is prepared in good time to be included in this process. Any proposal which may be agreed will require formal approval by both Councils.
Will we see access to Plas Madoc next April? Well, I am sure we will have to fight for our right to a fair service and we will be reminding the Council that over 1000 people have signed the petition."
Council officers are moving ahead with more plans for changes to household waste services and building a new depot in Denbigh.
Whilst finding money for these ideas they seem to have forgotten the fact that years ago when they closed our site at Wenffrwd without public consultation, they were tasked by Councillors to get an access agreement for Plas Madoc. This priority was quietly disregarded in favour of other plans in the north of the County. Its time we reminded them they failed to deliver on what was expected of them.
