'Van Ban' Still Unfair

Kenilworth Recycling Centre

Kenilworth Recycling Centre (Cherry Orchard)

County Councillor John Whitehouse (Kenilworth Abbey) has won changes to the rules at the recycling centres, but says they still discriminate against most 4x4 pick-up drivers. A voucher system has been introduced, but only for households with only one vehicle.

So, if you've got a 4x4 pick-up and a small second car, you can't go to the tip in the pick-up at all, but you can go in the car as many times as you like.

John says: "I thought we were supposed to be encouraging recycling! It's what people take to the tip that matters most, not what vehicle they're in."
