Increased use of the Witley Waste Site, following the introduction of Waverley's new arrangements for kerbside collection, is causing additional problems for Witley residents, the many people who drive through our village, and the other heavy traffic based at the Road Maintenance facility at the Witley depot. Some recent photographs show the extent of the problem.
The first photograph was taken just after 10 o'clock on Sunday 3rd Sept 2006. The queue to enter the "Dump" has already built up to about 8 cars on the A283. Southbound traffic has begun to overtake the stationery traffic. The driver of the silver car exiting from the dump can't yet see that, and if it had been turning South, the driver's line of vision would also have been blocked by the red car, whose driver had decided it was quicker to walk to the dump!
This photograph shows the reason for the congestion. One of the skip lorries has encountered traffic queuing to get into the Dump. Now the car driver has a problem - he is on a single track road and he won't be able to reverse to let outcoming traffic past.
Now it's really begun to hot up - a queue is beginning to form northbound.
It's not a new problem caused by the new waste collection arrangements. This last photo taken on 6 June 2004 shows exactly the same problem.
