Bradley Stoke could be the home to yet another recycling centre (or in old language, rubbish dump) after it was revealed the Stoke Gifford centre was being used too much!

The admission came after The Evening Post ran a story claiming height barriers had been put up at the centre is Stoke Gifford to cut down on trade use.

The report claims South Gloucestershire Council spokeswoman, Debra Davies, said the council “was looking for land to build an alternative site on, possibly in the Bradley Stoke area”.

“A larger plot of land is still being sought to build a better and larger site to meet the needs of the area,” she told the newspaper.

Quite where South Gloucestershire Council thinks it can find land to build this facility is Bradley Stoke is beyond this publication.

There are many downsides, of course, to having a dump on your doorstep: Increased traffic, bad smells … We could go on. Let’s hope they see sense and build it away from any houses.
