Residents urged to register now to visit their local Household Waste Recycling Centre 

Residents now need to register to visit their local Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) as part of Cheshire West and Chester Council's efforts to cut down on unauthorised use. This means that centres can be more easily and fairly accessed by residents who need them. It is quick and easy to register at: Find a recycling centre | Cheshire West and Chester Council There are many benefits to the new system. Once your vehicles are registered: No ID or proof of address is required – automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras will identify all pre‑registered vehicles. Paper permits will no longer be needed – everything is handled through your online registration. You can choose to receive notifications, including important service updates such as emergency closures due to severe weather. You will automatically receive 30 visits per year, and you’ll be able to monitor how many visits you have remaining. You can request additional visits if you use all 30 (conditions apply). Registration is a one‑off process for each household. Once registered, you will only need to update your details if you change your vehicle, or you move home. Each household can register up to three vehicles, including one commercial type vehicle. The new system prevents unauthorised use and fairly manages the number of visits each household makes, ensuring everyone has reasonable access to the service. Each household is entitled to 30 visits within any 12-month period. A ten-year Waste Management Strategy was adopted by the Council in 2021, aiming to reduce overall waste, increase recycling and provide a cost-effective service. Reviewing the way HWRCs work is the next step towards this. The changes being implemented follow Council’s cabinet approval in June 2025, after a public consultation in 2024 on proposals to improve the future of HWRCs. Cllr Karen Shore, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Transport and Highways (including Waste), said: “HWRCs are a crucial part of managing waste and recycling in the Borough; they are places where residents can dispose of extra household waste or recycling, as well as items that are not collected through the kerbside waste and recycling collection service. “Waste from commercial premises, businesses or any ‘paid‑for’ work is not permitted at any HWRC site. There has been a sharp increase in frequent visits and suspected non-household waste being brought to our sites, particularly by those using commercial type vehicles. “The new registration system aims to ensure that HWRCs remain accessible to all residents who need them whilst tackling the minority of excessive users and commercial users who are bringing unauthorised waste. Dealing with unauthorised waste costs the Council money and reduces capacity for residents to use the sites. The new registration system will make things fairer and more efficient for everyone.” The Council operates seven HWRCs across the borough, in Chester, Ellesmere Port, Frodsham, Neston, Northwich, Tattenhall and Winsford. Each year, they are visited around 740,000 times and process approximately 40,000 tonnes of household waste and recycling. Since April 2026, the Borough’s HWRCs are now managed by the Council’s wholly owned company, Cheshire West Recycling (CWR).

 Important Marbury Park and Anderton Car Parks

CWaC Parking Services manage both car parks and for several years, there has been an informal arrangement in respect of parking charges. The proposed Orders were seeking to formalise these existing arrangements.

Importantly, formalising the TROs will enable the Council to enforce the parking provisions, including for non-payment as well as other contraventions such as misuse of designated bays and parking outside marked bays.

Antrobus is a large widespread rural parish with 33 roads and lanes that extend for some 36 miles criss-crossing an area of 4,145 acres of fertile agricultural land. There are 300 households and 630 electors. The village has evolved from a community of farming families to become a mixed community, who enjoy living in the countryside. This civil parish encloses within its boundary Crowley to the north, Sevenoaks/Frandley to the south west, and Gibb Hill to the south east.

In Antrobus you will find a Primary School, a large Village Hall, a volunteer run Shop with a Church, a Chapel, a Meeting House, a pub, a community garden and even a golf course! Well looked after, it has frequently won Community Pride awards.

The Community spirit is one of the best aspects of living in Antrobus, as typified by a monthly newsletter (hand delivered to every household), a Rose Queen Fete, popular events in the Village Hall all year round and carol singing (again to every household). In 2014 and 15 there was massive support for fund raising for the Church Roof Restoration and a successful VE Day celebration.

Antrobus. Derived from an old Norse or Danish man called Eindridi or Andridi and a ‘buscr’ meaning bush, ‘Entrebus’ was first mentioned in the Domesday Book. Antrobus existed on agriculture, thriving by supplying the demand from nearby towns, leading to the many fine Georgian farmhouses. Later the Northwich chemical industry set the beginnings of a trend towards a dormitory village with only 10% supported by farming.
