As this tip is rapidly being filled, further and more long term
arrangements for refuse disposal are being made at great cost to the
ratepayers because other possible controlled tip sites are not available
within the District, transportation of refuse in bulk to tips in outer
Essex is planned and work is well advanced, with completion due in the
autumn of 1968 for a transfer depot for use by 3 new and large bulk
transporter vehicles.
Salvage of paper continues to produce sales during the year.
Trailers have been purchased for attachment to the refuse vehicles so that
salvage can be better pre-separated before tipping.
Nearly 5,000 road gullies in County and District roads are
emptied (and re-sealed with clean water) by machine regularly during the
year by contract.
(c) Swimming Pool:
The Council's new covered swimming pool was finished in the
summer of 1967, and has had a very successful start: it is a real asset
to the District, particularly for children and clubs.
