Episode Details

J Dickinson and Sons, a major waste and recycling firm near the M61 with over 100 employees, wants to extend its 24-hour waste transfer station operation to Sundays and bank holidays—and keep a second building open until 11 PM for late-night work. Citing rising demand for recycling, they argue it’s essential for efficiency. But nearby residents are up in arms—traffic is already congested with heavy trucks, noise levels are a concern, and homes are just 170 meters away. Four objections have been filed, yet planning officers recommend approval. The council will decide on August 20th, pitting business growth against community backlash.
