A council leader is facing pressure from opposition councillors over a decision to close a recycling centre.
Ian Thorn, who leads Wiltshire Council, will have to defend a motion opposing the closure of Lower Compton Recycling Centre in Calne, where he sits as mayor, tabled by Labour and Conservative councillors.
The decision taken before Christmas to close two household recycling centres, at Lower Compton and at Purton, resulted in a petition with thousands of signatures.
The Liberal Democrat council leader previously said the price proposed for the contract renewal “was substantially higher than the current arrangement” and “would have placed considerable financial pressure on the council”.
