The proposed plan to move the Waste Management Centre closer to an area of residential housing needs to be totally reassessed.
The options which should be carefully examined are:
i) Expanding the current Bickenhill site which already meets existing traffic infrastructure requirements.
ii) Greater effort needs to be expended in identifying a suitable Brownfield site to prevent further encroachment onto our precious Green Belt land.

The proposed move of the Bickenhill Waste Centre closer to the recently built JLR Logistics Centre will undoubtedly add more vehicles to the already excessively high traffic volume A45 and surrounding roads.
It is totally unacceptable to consider moving a Waste Management function closer to the large residential area of Damsonwood and Damson Parkway.
It is yet another planned infringement on existing precious Green Belt land where the Council has already demonstrated its lack of care in its stewardship of local Green Belt land by permitting the hideous development of the JLR Logistics Centre at the Damson Parkway site.
