“This is excellent news and I am very happy that work can now begin on this much-needed new recycling centre for Haverhill and the surrounding area.
“Giving people the right facilities to help them dispose of waste properly and to recycle has never been more important and this facility will be key in helping them do that.
“Haverhill residents can now look forward to having a new site with much better facilities and access and which will serve their needs for many years to come.”
