The meeting to determine the future of the Beckfield Lane recycling centre has been put back to Tuesday 24th April. It will start at 6:30pm and will take place in the Guildhall.
Residents are able to register to speak at the meeting. The agenda for the meeting should be posted shortly on the Council’s web site.
With only a few hours to go before it concludes, the Epetition in favour of keeping the recycling centre open has attracted 278 supporters.
A “training” visit by Councillors to the Foxwood Community Centre, which was scheduled to take place tomorrow, has been cancelled.
Apparently no Councillors registered to attend!

Fly posting on empty shops
Following the disgraceful neglect of the recycling facilities in the Acomb car park, an inspection has revealed a growing number of problems in the Front Street area. It is to be hoped that the Council will now get to grips with these issues.
We’ve reported fly tipping to the back of the Front Street shops.
But we badly need to see an Acomb regeneration programme started. The partnership that was developing between the Council, traders, property owners and the police seems to have collapsed over the last 6 months with nothing replacing the “York Pride” initiative of a few years ago.
Empty property, fly tipping, fly posting, missing street lamps and ingrained litter all lead to a downward spiral of neglect, that will be more difficult to reverse the longer it is allowed to continue
