The future of the Community Composting sites at Thornbury, Hawkesbury and Shireway, Yate was a hot topic for discussion at last night’s Frome Vale Area Forum.

Unfortunately although the Lib Dems prioritised protecting the sites in our budget, the other two groups didn’t agree. There will be no council funding for them from April 2015 so a consultation is underway on their future. An alternative way of keeping the sites going will have to be found.

The intention had been to keep all three sites going until next April. However Shireway Community Centre has given notice to the council that they want them to leave the site, due to abuse of it, so the site has had to be closed.

You can respond to the consultation online – the deadline is 1 August.
