THE house-hold waste recycling centre at Waterside Park, Darby Close, has opened for an additional two hours a week.

This is an extension to the normal summer time hours.

The centre will be open from 8am to 6.30pm.

Coun Justin Tomlinson, lead member for social services, said: "This is great news. It will allow residents extra time to take their recyclable waste and other waste to the centre."
