As reported by The Press in August, traffic has been facing long queues to enter Hazel Court Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC), off James Street, with cars sometimes at a standstill.
Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC), off James Street, with cars sometimes at a standstill.
Thirteen businesses in Hazel Court and Yorvale Business Park have now signed an open letter to City of York Council raising their concerns about the impact of the queues on their businesses.
Dustin Hone, who owns DNA Gym in Yorvale Business Park and spoke on behalf of the letter writers, said: “It’s a nightmare. They’ve just made it worse – I understand what they’re trying to do, but it’s just gotten worse.
"There’s traffic going both ways, and that road is the only way into the business park. Before, when there was queuing, people could whizz up to the side to the business park but now that’s impossible.
