THE finalised plans for a long-awaited household waste and recycling centre in Kington have been submitted to Herefordshire Council.

Following a public consultation in the town at the end of last year, waste firm Mercia Waste Management has lodged proposals for a new facility off the A4111, near Arrow Plant Hire, that will likely accept garden and general waste on Saturdays, Sundays and one other day in the week.

Organisations including the Environment Agency and local town and parish councils will be consulted on the project ahead of a decision, which is expected in a few months’ time.
