Doomed Recycle centre is reprieved
A RECYCLING centre earmarked for closure has won a reprieve after county council officials requested more time to review other sites. There had been outrage over Lancashire
County Council’s plans to close the well- established (Petre) tip, on the A59 Longsight Road, in Langho, as part of its waste management budget review. The site has been open for 25 years,
serves around 15,000 people and processes around 4,200 tonnes of waste each year. The announcement sparked controver
sy in the Ribble Valley with residents in Whalley, Billington and Langho fearing they could end up travelling about 10 miles to the nearest Henthorn Road waste recycling centre in Clitheroe. At the time, Coun. Robert Thompson,
chairman of Ribble Valley Borough Council’s community committee, feared the proposed closure would lead to increased fly-tipping, while Coun. Gra ham Sowter, chairman of Lancashire Waste Partnership, whose Billington and Langho ward includes the Petre site, thought the closure would have huge repercussions on collecting authorities. At a recent Lancashire Local Ribble
Valley meeting in Whalley, county offi cials presented a report which said it need ed more time to assess the true cost of the whole household recycling network. The Household Waste Recycling Centre
Task Group will reform early next year to look at all the 23 sites in Lancashire. Meanwhile, th e 23 recycling plants, including the one a t Petre Arms, will remain open until March 2011, with an optional extension to March 2013. Speaking earlier this week, Coun.
Sowter said he was delighted with the decision. “Pm very pleased obviously. “I think it is a very valued facility that
the council provides in the area. I t caters for a lot of waste stream that would never be collected with the kerbside collection service. “Everybody appreciates that it is a lit
tle cramped down a t Petre, but it is an invaluable facility and very convenient as it is close to the main road.”
