Lancaster and Carnforth tips have reopened following Storm Boelo

Recycling centres across Lancashire have reopened following Storm Boelo - all bar one.

A number of centres were closed yesterday morning (Sunday) due to high winds including Burnley, Burscough, Carnforth, Chorley, Farington, Haslingden, Lancaster, Lytham and Skelmersdale.

A spokesperson for Lancashire County Council said at the time: “Sorry for the inconvenience.

“We're keeping an eye on weather to see if we can open them if the wind drops. We'll post any updates in the comments of this post.”

All of LCC's recycling centres are now open again following Storm Obelo, with the exception of Skelmersdale HWRC for safety reasons, due to having no electricity and several fallen trees on site as a result of the storms.placeholder image
