Decision details

A booking system was introduced at the HWRC in June to manage the queuing on Whessoe Road and ensure social distancing could be maintained for residents and staff throughout the pandemic. In line with the ongoing relaxation of restrictions with regard to Covid and concerns raised by residents who are digitally excluded not being able to access the HWRC, the booking system will be removed from Monday 8 November.

Ongoing monitoring will continue with regard to traffic congestion in the area and the potential for waste volumes to rise as there will be no access control in place and residents from other Boroughs will be able to use the site.
