I WONDER whether Journal readers realise that from October 1, 2013, twin-axle trailers (of any size) will not be allowed access to Worcestershire County Council household recycling centres?

I can only speculate that one of the reasons for this change of policy is that the council is anxious to prevent illegal disposal of business waste.

However, I feel that genuine users are being unfairly penalised.

As a council tax payer, I take exception to being denied access to the recycling centre using my current trailer.

I have used this twin-axle trailer at Hill and Moor for many years for the disposal of domestic waste.

It is interesting to note that the CVT permit scheme allows both vans and pick-ups up to a gross weight of 3.5 tonnes to use this facility.

The gross weight of my car/trailer is less than 3.5 tonnes, so why penalise me?

I fail to understand the reasoning behind this illogical policy and have written to the county council requesting that the policy be reviewed and that common sense be applied.

I would encourage all readers who are similarly affected to do likewise.
