John McDonnell MP was appalled by the level of street cleanliness in Hayes at the moment which is a direct consequence of the closure of Rigby Lane Recycling Centre, previously privatised by the Conservative Council. This has led to no facilities in the south of the borough.

John said “We cannot go on like this. The streets are filthy, fly tipping is a consistent problem”.

John has written to the Council to demand they take action in re-opening the recycling centre in the south of the borough for local rubbish and recycling.

John said “I opened the recycling centre in Rigby Lane as a GLC Counsellor in 1980s and now the Tories have closed it.”
