RESIDENTS in Bude are becoming increasingly frustrated with the introduction of a booking system at their local recycling centre.

In recent weeks, residents across North Cornwall have seen changes to the waste disposal service at local recycling centres.

Where previously residents could attend at their leisure, Cornwall Council recently introduced a booking system to several sites, including Launceston and Bude.

Following the introduction however, a number of residents have expressed their frustration, calling the change unnecessary.

In a letter to the Post, one resident, Mr Roger Orchard said: “There is widespread bewilderment among Bude HWRC users regarding the necessity of this trial. It seems the council is attempting to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.”
