New opening hours for council tips

Shropshire Council’s Newsroom has announced (here) new opening hours for its five household recycling centres – commonly referred to as “tips”. From March this year they will open from 9.00am to 5.00pm every day. This brings forward their closing times from 7.00pm on weekdays and 6.00pm at weekends during the summer.
The Council agreed the new hours earlier this week, state:

Introducing 9am to 5pm opening all year round will save Shropshire Council an estimated £50,000 a year, and mean that the recycling centres will continue to remain open every day of the year (except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day), and for 56 hours each week.

The nearest two Shropshire Council sites to Hodnet are at Shrewsbury (Battlefield Enterprise Park) and Whitchurch (Waymills Industrial Park).
