MORE than 30 concerned residents packed into a meeting of Croft Parish Council to raise their concerns over the recycling of green waste at Diggle Hall Farm in nearby Culcheth.
Residents said they were concerned about plans to increase the annual tonnage of green waste being recycled from 35,000 to 40,000 tonnes per year claiming it was already causing smell and traffic problems.
They also raised concerns that there were proposals to bring in waste from a wider area.
Parish council chairman Cllr Les Hoyle said the parish council would be supportive of residents in their bid to get an open public meeting on the issue, even though the site in question was not within the parish.
The meeting heard that environment and enforcement officers were currently monitoring the situation.
