Currently the Alkerton site is due to close in 2017. Oxfordshire County Council propose to extend the life of Alkerton until 22/23, and meanwhile to seek to identify and develop an alternative site to replace both Alkerton and Ardley in 22/23.
For further information on the strategy document and consultation process (which is running from 14th July to August 11th) see the Parish Council Noticeboard page.
Current cost saving proposals by OCC include the reduction of the number of household waste centres from 7 to 3 or 4 with one site in central North Oxfordshire. This means the likely closure of Alkerton tip.
To have your say on the future and location of Household Waste Recycling Centres in Oxfordshire and contribute to the consultation visit the Oxfordshire County Council website consultation page.
From the 10th August to the 5th October make sure you have you say www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/waste
