Frodsham Tip Location Debate

Frodsham "tip" has been located on the car park by the station for as long as I can remember. In many respects it has served the community really well over the years but can it and should it be better? Here are my thoughts on the tip.

Pros

• Located close to the town for residents.
• Easy access in and out.
• Allows various types of waste i.e. green, wood, plastics, recyclable and general waste.

Cons

• Steps make it difficult for access carrying heavy waste
• Not elderly or disabled friendly
• First thing you see when getting off the train is the tip
• Congestion for access to car park
• Has to close when moving skips

My recommendations for the tip are:-

• Relocate to a position outside of town centre but easily reachable
• Access on flat level to skips like Ellesmere Port
• Allow for trailers greater than 1.5m in length - we are a rural community and sometimes we have long trailers
• Have a re-use shop on-site like Ellesmere Port

I think we should have a town debate on the next location and what the land in the centre could be used for. As a starting point for discussion my proposal is

• relocate to a site by Gleaves Garden Centre
• transform the current location to free parking for elderly
