Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Sam (8th May 2024 - 20:48:20) If it closes what is the next nearest alternative travelling from Liphook ?

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Anne (9th May 2024 - 07:21:55) The next nearest is Petersfield but this is also up for potential closure!!

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Sam (9th May 2024 - 20:27:26) Well, it’s us that votes them in and we refuse to pay any more tax so when you elect idiots and add no funding this is going to happen. Won’t be long before it’s £1000 a visit to A&E or a Doctor and a £49 a month subscription to get your bins emptied. Down the toilet we go

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Sally-ann (14th May 2024 - 11:03:00) If it does get shut down I propose we select one of the car parks for the common and use that instead. Will end up costing the council a lot more than if they had kept the site open🤣

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Not happy (14th May 2024 - 12:38:38) Better still dump all our rubbish out side penns place then perhaps they will stand up for us and tell HCC what to do with their plans.

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Joe (14th May 2024 - 12:50:50) From what I understand EHDC want to upgrade all the recycling to be like Waverley for example separate bins for every little thing fabric , plastics, unrecyclables building waste wood, paint all in all probably double the amount of categories and some of the sites like Bordon are too small for extra bins. They probably see it as building land potential to sell off completely. I can envisage if it stays open they will start to charge on different things somehow.

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - E (14th May 2024 - 13:04:18) What do you expect when you keep voting for the Conservatives? They don't care about the environment and they don't care about the people they serve.

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - M (14th May 2024 - 13:24:36) @ Sam well I for one would be prepared to have my bin emptied,per bin because at present more often than not it gets missed!!...... I also don't use any of the other so called services,and pay a disproportionate amount in council tax,to support others because we live in a civilized society apparently.

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Sam (14th May 2024 - 14:55:14) @M we already pay a tax for it to get emptied, yet your happy to pay another separate tax for it ? As I mentioned, my view of the state of this nation is people work hard yet the state through inefficiency or ineptitude is taking towards a world whereby 100% of all resources we earn will be clawed back by either the state or big business, when that day comes is there any point having a job? When the private individual gets nothing for themselves? It’s essentially slavery again. Might as well grow you own and leave the rat race. We already pay for these services, telling us they need to cost cut isn’t good enough, perhaps us citizens need to cost cut on the tax we pay as they have been shown to be useless at managing it or delivering the services.

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Adrian (24th May 2024 - 20:56:46) @Not happy Not much point dumping it at Penns Place as that is a different council

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Joe (24th May 2024 - 22:52:24) Hi Sam I understood that M meant he would rather pay for the bin emptying service separately so rather than pay through council tax for the bins, be billed each time they emptied it as they keep failing to empty the bin. That is how I understood it .

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - Phelim (28th May 2024 - 10:07:55) One of the reasons that Bordon is at risk of closure is because Hampshire County Council do not own the site. They rent the site. It is run on their behalf by Biffa who own a site up at Alton. The site is too small and they cannot expand to make it fit for purpose. The site at Petersfield has similar issues with Hampshire County Council renting and not owning the site. I am not sure whether Hampshire County Council have looked for another site in the area, but I do know that when the Labour Party designated Bordon/Whitehill an "Eco-town" with their decision to pull the Army out and send them to Salisbury Plain they made no provision for an improved Refuse and Recycling Centre. May be that was not "eco" enough for them.

Re: Closure of Bordon Refuse and Recycling Centre - M (29th May 2024 - 10:55:37) @Joe exactly - thank you
