Denbighshire people unable to use tip while work is carried out at Plas Madoc


* Plas Madoc tip - temporarily closed to Denbighshire people.

Llangollen people won't be able to use the Plas Madoc household waste recycling centre while it undergoes a major programme of works.

The bad news from Wrexham Council is revealed in a update for its own residents which has also been posted on Facebook.

After much campaigning Denbighshire people won the right to use the tip - even though it's over the border in Wrexham - rather than facing a 32-mile round-trip to Ruthin. 

But an article in Wrexham Council News, published last Saturday, says: "From next week [meaning this week] Plas Madoc recycling centre will be undergoing some extensive engineering works to upgrade the site. We expect these works to take around seven weeks to complete.

"We’re pleased to let you know that Wrexham residents will still be able to visit the facility during this time, but to help keep everyone safe we’ve introduced a temporary booking system which requires you to pre-book your next visit."

It then goes on to explain how Wrexham residents can make a booking.

But the bad news for Llangollen people planning to use the tip comes from Cllr Terry Evans, Wrexham Council's Lead Member for Environment, who points out: "Denbighshire residents will temporarily not be able to use the site, but can use Bryn Lane recycling centre instead."

A spokesperson for Denbighshire County Council said: "Currently there is no access to Plas Madoc recycling centre for Denbighshire residents due to engineering works taking place at the site. However, Denbighshire residents can make a booking to visit the Bryn Lane Recycling Centre while the work, which is estimated to take seven weeks, is carried out.
