As the district council website reports here Rochford has just been officially rated as the number one local authority in England for recycling.
That means we are the best out of 350 councils – with a 66.7 per cent recycling rate.
Credit should go to everyone concerned – the councillors who produced the original scheme (better than, say, Chelmsford’s), the staff who do the work everyday, and especially to the public for responding so well and making the effort to recycle.
