Rod Reed, a landscape gardener, expressed deep concerns about the Bromley Council's decision to close the Waldo Road recycling centre, warning that it would lead to significant fly-tipping problems in the borough. With the nearest alternative commercial waste sites being half a day's drive away, Reed highlighted the challenges businesses like his would face. He emphasized that the closure impacts thousands of businesses and voiced frustration over losing access to services during a financial crisis.
Councillor Will Rowlands reassured that although Waldo Road will be closing for upgrades, there are alternative commercial waste sites nearby for traders. However, he acknowledged the inconvenience the changes would bring, particularly for those who have relied on the Churchfields Road tip for years. Rowlands stated that the council's early announcement aims to minimize disruptions, even as they foresee difficulties for businesses during this transition period.
