Residents for Uttlesford (R4U) has now published sent Essex County Council (ECC) the results of its survey into ECC’s proposals to implement a pre-booking system at all of its recycling centres.
Survey says 99% of nearly 3,000 residents oppose Book-to-Bin
Comments from 2,000 submitted to ECC
R4U’s Paul Gadd continued “Most residents completing the survey use the Saffron Walden recycling centre, with Braintree the next most used by Uttlesford residents, and opposition to the new proposals was the same at both centres. Comments were submitted by more than 2,000 residents, with the main concerns being: that the new system would lead to an increase in illegal fly tipping; that there were no queues today and no congestion; that a booking system was unnecessary; that the changes would make the service worse, harder to use and more inconvenient and that it was the first step in a charging system.”
