Until now, refuse has been disposed of by controlled tipping in
Chigweil at a site leased to the Council,, The refuse was covered with
spoil, hardcore or other innocuous filling, and during tipping, only a
very small surface of refuse remained uncovered. Measures were taken
against flies, etc., as necessary from time to time, but this rarely
happened.
As this tip is now full, further and more long term arrangements
for refuse disposal have been 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 starts in April,
1969 using 3 new and large bulk transporter vehicles from the new Transfer
Depot in Luxborough Lane.
Salvage of paper continued 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 year. It is a real asset
to the District, particularly for children and clubs, and the total number
of users was 328,000 for the first year's operation.
