Recycling site set for two-month closure

The Lidget Lane centre at Ravenfield will close on Monday  to allow for improvement works as part of Rotherham Borough Council's programme to refurbish and improve each of its four recycling centres.

The programme is being funded by a £1.05 million Defra Waste Infrastructure capital grant.

A council spokeswoman said: “The works include improvements to drainage, re-surfacing and a new layout making it easier for people to use, and so allowing more waste to be recycled.”

Alternative centres are at Warren Vale, Old Warren Vale, Rawmarsh, Car Hill, Greasbrough Road, Rotherham and Magilla at Common Road, North Anston.

During the closure period any access permits issued for trailers or small vans at Lidget Lane will be accepted at any of the centres listed above.

Access permits for large vans will only be accepted at either the Magilla site  or Car Hill site.

The spokeswoman added: “Rotherham Borough Council apologises for any inconvenience caused by this essential renovation work which cannot be undertaken while the site is open.”
