Council leader reacts after drawn-out search for new recycling centre land makes progress

The leader of Vale of Glamorgan Council said it would be wonderful to find a replacement for one of the county's recycling centres, which she labelled "horrendous". Last month, it was revealed that the council may have found a potential site to construct a replacement facility for Llandow Recycling Centre in the form of land near Place for Homes in Llandow.

The council has been looking to develop a replacement site for the recycling centre for years. Council leader Lis Burnett, said it has been a "massive" source of frustration waiting for a solution to formulate. But, it is probably an even greater source of frustration to local residents because we haven't been able to offer them a facility," she added.

The council nearly secured a location last year, but the landowner said they no longer wanted to sell the site at the last minute. Chief among the issues related to the current site at Llandow is its accessibility, in terms of the poor state of the entry road into the site, and its size.
