We are currently experiencing high demand for the use of Townmead Road Re-use and Recycling Centre, resulting in traffic queuing and delays on the surrounding road network.
If possible you are advised to visit the site during the weekdays if you can, ideally Tuesday to Friday as visits between Saturday and Monday are resulting in significant traffic issues affecting the area.
We are doing everything possible to deal efficiently and safely with visitors whilst trying to operate such that throughput is optimised, however the site has a maximum operating capacity and this dictates the extent to which this is possible. During such peak operating times the focus of the staff on duty is on the activities on the site to ensure the safe use by visitors.
