Most people in the St Albans area use either Sandridge Road or Waterdale. The Conservative administration at County Hall plans to close them for two weekdays and restrict opening on the remaining days to the 8 till 4 pm winter timetable all year round.

Lib Dems think this is crazy and potentially a fly tippers’ charter.  We believe the sites should continue to open every day, and if hours have to be shortened, it should be in ways that suit residents and not the operator, for example later closing at weekends and at least one weekday evening.

It would be great if you can share this with friends and neighbours so that as many people as possible make their views known.  If enough of us show that we care, there is every chance that we can end up with a more customer-friendly outcome.
