Kibworth Tip To Close For Around A Year Next Month

Kibworth tip will be shut for around a year from the start of November so major improvement works costing around £5m can take place.

The household waste and recycling base off the A6 will be turned into a multi-level site to provide more recycling facilities, there will be changes to traffic flow to boost safety, and drainage improvement works.

Leicestershire County Council says people will have to use sites in Market Harborough and Oadby while it is closed.

Councillor Blake Pain, cabinet member for waste disposal, said: “We are always looking for ways to improve our services and resources, making them the best they can be for the public.

“Supporting our residents to responsibly dispose of their rubbish and recycle is a top priority. These plans will allow us to make substantial improvements for everyone who uses our Kibworth site.”
