A south Shropshire town council has added to calls to ‘save’ a household tip in Craven Arms – despite there being no immediate plans for its closure.
Ludlow Town Council says it is “very concerned” about the future of the recycling centre at Craven Arms, after Shropshire Council revealed it was considering closing two of its five household recycling sites as part of a programme of budget cuts.
“Shropshire is a large rural county with few recycling centres. We cannot afford to lose any more recycling facilities, especially in the south of the county,” said Ludlow Town Council. “Closing household recycling centres is contrary to Shropshire Council’s Climate Pledge, and it will disadvantage residents, undermine tourism, damage the environment, and cost Shropshire, and Shropshire Council more than it saves.”
