Peterborough City Council is introducing e-permits for users of the Fengate Household Recycling Centre to reduce costs for taxpayers and congestion during peak times. The scheme aims to limit usage by non-residents, who have been attracted to the site due to its longer opening hours compared to local centres in surrounding counties.
Users of a recycling centre will have to apply for e-permits as part of a scheme to reduce costs for taxpayers.
The scheme aims to lower waste, reduce costs to Peterborough taxpayers and reduce congestion during peak times.In September last year, the council proposed introducing a residents-only permit at the site to help save about £63,000 in the year to April 2026., the authority said staff were aware people from Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire had used the site due to "restricted opening hours" at their local centres.
"However, this has meant that it often attracts visitors from outside of the city, which can result in it becoming very busy at peak times.
