The opening hours of Sheffield's Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC), have been extended, with all sites now open seven days a week for the rest of spring and the summer.

All five of Sheffield's HWRCs are now open from 9.30am to 5.30pm every day until Thursday 30 September.

Sites accept a wide range of items household waste for recycling, including textiles, glass bottles and jars, wood, scrap metal, batteries, garden waste, electrical appliances and even engine and cooking oil.

The outline application for up to 67 houses was turned down by the Sheffield City Council's Planning and Highways Committee at this afternoon's meeting! (Tuesday 8th December)

Reasons for refusal included the application's detrimental impact on the heritage of the area. Local Lib Dem Councillor Penny Baker, who attanded the meeting via Zoom, and spoke against the application reported:

Sections of Rowell Lane are soon to be resurfaced as part of the Streets Ahead highway improvement programme.

This work is due to start mid December and will last approximately 1 week, between the hours of 7am & 7pm, Monday - Friday only, although there could be some weekend working.

Temporary road signs will be displayed five days before work starts, confirming the dates and any associated parking restrictions.

As a result of the COVID crisis, the Green Bin collection service was suspended earlier in the year in order to prioritise other key kerbside collections. Although reinstated during the summer, the development of the 'second wave' of the virus and the resultant impact on the workforce, led to the service being suspended once again.

We understand that the above application to build houses in the Middle of Worrall will be heard by Sheffield Council's Planning and Highways Committee at the meeting on 8^th December.

The outline application is for up to 67 dwellings to be built on the triangle of greenfield land between, Walshaw, Haggstones and Towngate Roads.
