Harborough district MPs Neil O’Brien and Alicia Kearns are warning that residents have just a month to reply to the County Council’s consultation on the future of Market Harborough tip or face losing the facility.
The MPs are encouraging all residents to make their voices heard by opposing closure in the consultation.
Neil O’Brien said:
“Loads of residents have told me how keen they are to keep the tip in Market Harborough so that people don’t have to drive up to Kibworth.
I use the tip myself and it is very handy, with friendly staff. The easier we make it to recycle the less fly tipping there will be, so I am strongly opposed to this closure.
“Replying to the consultation only takes about 20 seconds online, and if enough people register their strong objection then we can get the county council to change their minds.
“People only have until January to get replies in, so there is just one month left to save the tip”
“People can find the link to the consultation on the front of my website: www.neilobrien.org.uk”
Alicia Kearns said:
“We need Harborough tip to remain open, not as matter of convenience, but of necessity. Our community's waste management needs make clear that Harborough is the wrong site to be closing. I ask all residents to respond to the consultation before January 24th.
