The sites – in Oldham, Prestwich, Heywood and Bolton – are now expected to shut within three months.
The closure decision, first announced in March, was ratified at the annual general meeting of the Authority held at Dukinfield Town Hall. After bosses said the move would save the authority around £875,000.
The four tips are at Chandos Street, Shaw; the Drinkwater Park site on Clifton Road, Prestwich; Peel Lane, Heywood, near Rochdale, and Union Road, Bolton. The GMWDA has twenty-one members drawn from all the councils in GM. It's erstwhile leader is our own, our very own, Charlie Chuckles - 'Turd' parker. The members from Oldham listed on the GMWDA website are Philomena Dillon and that ping pong ball of local politics, the waste of space Len Quinn. Quinn couldn't make his mind up which party to join at the local elections and fucked off into the wilderness. Philamean Chittyin is a complete waste of the earth's precious resources. So who knows which pair of tit-suckers represented this town. Probably Battye, Battye or Battye if there's any allowances going.
Two members of the Authority AB-FUCKING-STAINED from voting. The gutless fuckers escape route! Is this what we pay taxes for? So fuckbrains who are frightened of their own shadow can smarm about all day without having to engage their brain cell? Abstentions should be banned.
Now we come to the strange bit as reported in the local press, (not the OEC by the way). Of the nineteen worthless tossers remaining eleven voted for the above closures.
BUT NOW
Six councillors – the authority's representatives from Bury, Oldham and Rochdale – left the meeting before discussions were held and a vote taken. Anyone care to explain????
Coun Lambert, leader of Rochdale council, said: “It is a sad day for local residents in each of the areas affected by this decision. We always knew that we had a hard battle in front of us but I believe the decision was effectively taken in March. I'd say the decision was effectively taken when the pillocks from Bury, Oldham and Rochdale fucked off from the meeting and surrendered.
Lib Dem coun Mark Alcock, who led a campaign in Oldham, criticised a public consultation period into the plans and said the closure would cause more residents to dump recyclable waste in general household waste bins. Hah! Alcock (by name not nature) Hoist by his own petard. Now he has some idea of how a nonsultation works.
”
The closure issue has prompted a storm of protest from residents in Oldham, Bury and Rochdale.
But waste bosses said the budget savings needed – around 20 per cent of the authority's controllable spend – could not be found from any other source. The fifteen who remained in the meeting and for the vote, said that of course.
DON'T SAY WE DIDN'T WARN YOU ....NO! NO! NO!!!!
