Kibworth Tip Closes For £5m Re-Vamp

Kibworth tip has closed for around a year so major improvement works costing £5m can take place.

The redevelopment of the site off the A6 will allow more bays and will make it safer and easier to use, with a planned split-level surface meaning people no longer have to climb steps to access the skips.

The work will also improve traffic flow and enable the HGVs at the site to be separated from the area used by the public, to further improve safety, and improve drainage.

Leicestershire County Council is urging people who would normally use it to instead visit waste and recycling centres in Market Harborough and Oadby.

Councillor Blake Pain, cabinet member for the environment, said: “Supporting our residents to recycle and to responsibly deal with their waste is a top priority for us and we are pleased to be able to start work on improving the Kibworth site.

“Once the work is completed, residents will find the site more efficient and easier to use.”
