A petition to "save" a south Shropshire recycling centre has reached almost 7,000 signatures in five days, despite no imminent plans to shut it.
Despite the council giving assurances that the decision isn't imminent, residents have banded together to get behind the mission to save Craven Arms' local tip, and a petition to save it has accrued thousands of signatures in a matter of days. “We intend to make the strongest possible protests over any closure to Craven Arms household recycling centre. In 2014, Shropshire Council closed the Ludlow household recycling centre. That led to more fly-tipping and more recyclables going into the black bin for incineration.
Councillor Ian Nellins, Shropshire Council's Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Climate Change, Environment and Transport, said any decision is not imminent.
