Two visitors a minute at Bridport waste transfer show
HUNDREDS of people from the Bridport area have been shunning the hot weather in favour of such hot topics as vermin, odour, traffic, planning context, and nature conservation.
Yes, Dorset County Council’s exhibition about possible sites for the future location of Bridport’s waste management facility has been pulling in the crowds.
The show in Bridport Town Hall attracted about 230 people on Friday afternoon, and this morning they were trooping in at the rate of two a minute.
Seven possible sites are being considered for an urgently-needed, updated replacement for the Household Recycling Centre in South Street, Bridport. They are: Gore Cross on the A3066 just north of Bridport, and then six sites off the A35 – two near Miles Cross to the west of Bridport, Eype Junction (near the picnic area), Broomhills Farm, then – keeping going east – Green Lane Nursery and Lilac Farm on the so-called Walditch Plain.
Steve Burdis, Dorset County Council’s head of waste management, said he was pleased the open days were being so well-attended.
“We very much welcome the feedback we are getting, which will all be taken into account when we make our recommendations as part of the Stage 2 report.”

Gore Cross
The mere mention of vermin and odour make my mind wander toward St Andrew’s Road. Gore Cross is the only place for it
