The plans by the Liberal Democrat-led administration at Wiltshire Council has drawn the ire of a former colleague, who now represents part of the county at Parliament. "People often use the recycling centre when they unexpectedly have a spare half hour. "Even if only a small proportion of people decide that visiting the recycling centre has become too inconvenient, the environmental and financial costs could be considerable." "It could also undermine their confidence that Wiltshire Council is on their side, supporting them to recycle as often and as easily as possible." Banners had gone up at recycling centres ahead of an official announcement by the council, leaving local people concerned and upset.
