Christina Rose Howker It would be interesting to know how many accidents, incidents and near misses took place due to this before the changes took place. Because the results are pretty drastic. The tip is close to unusable now due to the constant queues. No-one wants health and safety risks to go unchecked of course. But the current situation just isn't working. I wouldn't be surprised if it leads to an increase in fly-tipping.
Chris Myers It's a danger for other cars passing the waiting cars who are waiting to go in to the tip plus I thought Walney road was classed as no stopping so oh look cos of their decisions the police could actually do the motorists waiting to go in to the tip #brightsparkcouncil
Dave Westhead The whole of barrows 1 way system is a complete joke.
Steve Lanyon Not surprising really of a company that installed cctv to spy on its staff.
Dominic Norman Went about 200 times other the winter, don’t go around midday at the weekends and it’s no problem at all
Hannah Ward As it’s open till 6pm, I try and go later on as it won’t be as busy. Or go through to Ulverston. Expected at a weekend when plenty don’t work it.
Stephanie Wiggins It might conform to "Health and Safety" at the site, but not on the road which is anything but safe!
Jon Story It’s ridiculous. I was at the front of the queue the other day and this is the process
Margaret Ann Birkett Ambleside tip closes when skips are being changed round
Ron Davies Why is there not a ramp you can drive up and throw your rubbish in instead of climbing steps waiting for an accident to happen
Brian Sinclair Why do they keep changing things when it's not broke?
Sue Geldart Brian Sinclair it’s the same everywhere the new normal I think
Darren Conlin It's only been that way for the past 12 month
