Issue details
Retention of the Recycling Centre Booking System (WL)
As part of the re-opening of the recycling
Centres during COVID-19 restrictions in 2020, a booking system was
introduced at the Midsomer Norton and Bath Recycling Centres.
The booking system received positive feedback from site users.
Surveys indicate overwhelming support for it to remain in place now
that COVID restrictions have been removed as the system eases
congestion, speeds up visits and makes for a more pleasurable
customer experience
Retaining the booking system provides several benefits; residents
have certainty that they will be able to access the site at the
time booked and no wasted trips as the site is too busy; it reduces
vehicle queues and the associated pollution from idling engines,
alongside removing any congestion on the surrounding road
network.
Keynsham Recycling Centre would remain as a site with no booking
system, so that residents can access this at any time during
opening hours.
