Liberal Democrat councillors representing Stansted, Birchanger, Farnham, Manuden, Berden and Ugley have condemned Hertfordshire County Council over a tip ban for Essex householders.
Hertfordshire County Council agreed recently that from Ist April use of its recycling centre in Bishop's Stortford will be restricted to Hertfordshire residents only. Essex County Council introduced a similar proof of address rules along with a booking system at its waste tip in Saffron Walden in mid-March.
The Liberal Democrat and Green Alliance Group, who are the main Opposition group on Uttlesford DC, strongly condemned the budget proposed by the R4U administration as a "pre-election make believe budget" which will lead to the need for an emergency budget after the May local elections.
