We had to do something.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A public consultation, which had more than 2,000 responses, found queuing and traffic management issues at the county&#8217;s tips were the most common complaints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Some staff at waste recycling centres also reported increasing levels of confrontation with frustrated customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Brookes, the council portfolio holder for the environment, said: &#8220;The staff are dealing with frustrated motorists who&#8217;s been queuing for possibly an hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;There&#8217;s no wonder that they&#8217;re frustrated. Our staff shouldn&#8217;t have to be dealing with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A booking system will be introduced at Lincolnshire tips in an attempt to tackle long queues.
