Fears changes could increase instances of fly-tipping in county
A RADICAL overhaul of the borough's tips which will limit the number of visits a year and introduce some additional charges for DIY waste has been rubber-stamped, despite fears over cost and increased fly-tipping.
Cheshire West and Chester's ruling cabinet voted in favour of changes to services at its Household Waste Recycling Centres.
From April next year, they will be managed by the council's own company - Cheshire West Recycling (CWR) - when the current provider's contract ends.
Under the newly-approved plan, each household will only be allowed to visit a tip 30 times in any 12-month period.
A visit in a commercial vehicle or a vehicle towing a large trailer will count as two visits.
Residents will be asked to register their vehicle and home address so the number of visits can be monitored. Additional visits can be applied for in 'exceptional circumstances'.
