LYMINSTER, Wick and north Littlehampton have been "plagued" by a big increase in heavy lorries since the new state-of-the-art recycling plant opened at Ford, a woman living beside a main road has claimed.

Glyn Daughtery, of Lyminster Road, Lyminster, said the opening of the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF), which will handle 100,000 tonnes of recyclable waste each year, had led to a "huge" volume of traffic using the A284 road past her cottage.

But West Sussex County Council, which commissioned waste operator Viridor to build and run the plant, said fewer than 10 articulated lorries a day were visiting the site. He also rejected Mrs Daughtery's suggestion that waste was being brought in from outside West Sussex, for processing there.
