Local residents who live close enough to walk to this centre will be accommodated wherever possible. There may however be times when, for operational reasons, pedestrian access may not be allowed.

Pedestrians are requested, for their own safety, to use the centre at quiet times. Report to staff on arrival, who will advise on where you can deposit your waste.

Use the designated pedestrian routes, even if you are using a wheelbarrow or other wheeled container.

Bicycles are not to be ridden at the centre - cyclists must dismount and enter as a pedestrian.
