I am happy to announce that it looks like one of the pledges I made in my election address is shortly to be fulfilled. The Community Services committee is due to meet next Thursday to endorse the decision to extend the weekly recycling scheme, which has been operating in Warlingham and Lingfield (including for plastics) over the past two years to Hurst Green and Oxted.
In parts of the District where weekly recycling already occurs the proportion of households participating has risen from 55% to 75% and so this is a major step forward. This decision will make it even easier for Oxted South residents to reduce the amount of their waste going to landfill.
