On March 13th the County Council will make its final decision on whether to close the tip or bow to public pressure and keep it open.the original decision was made by one just County Councillor over 18months ago.

Objections from residents have so far succeeded in delaying the closure twice since it was first made public in January 2006.  As part of the consultation process, more than 900 completed questionnaires were returned to Mrs Smedley, 638 letters sent in and petitions of nearly 2000 signatures were collected on petitions and presented. These resulted in a 'stay of execution'  for a few months while a report was drafted by officers for March 13th's council meeting.

It would be exremely detrimental for the local community if we were to lose this well used and valuable facility, so ............

to keep the pressure on the County Council, write or petition the county council's cabinet member for the environment,

Cllr Stella Smedley at County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham or e-mail her on:
