RESIDENTS looking to use Ledbury's tip can look forward to increased opening hours this summer.

Following a successful application, the Ledbury Household Recycling Centre will be open for an additional 5 hours on Sundays throughout the summer.

This change in opening hours means that, from Sunday, May 2, Herefordshire residents will be able to access the Centre 9.30am – 6pm on Sundays.

To ensure safety and efficiency, residents are still required to book slots to visit the Household Recycling Centres.

Only those who have booked a slot will be allowed entry.

This can be done online or, for those unable to book online, by contacting the Herefordshire Council customer services team on 01432 260051, who will book a slot for you.

The Household Recycling Centres are only open to Herefordshire residents, and the booking system is in place to ensure the safety of staff by controlling numbers of visitors and prevent queues at sites.

Residents can book up to four slots every two weeks and will receive a pass before visiting.

An address and vehicle registration number are needed to secure the booking.
