Cllr Heather Timms, Warwickshire County Council portfolio holder for environment, climate and culture, said: "Councillors are keen to hear the views of residents on our network of reuse shops and recycling centres.

"These valuable facilities in the community help us to reduce waste and maximise recycling.

“The reuse shops are very popular for donations and for picking up great bargains. The shops sold over 1,000 tonnes of items last year that would have otherwise gone to waste.

"This helps the environment and reduces carbon impact.”

“In a similar survey two years ago, residents told us there was high levels of satisfaction with the facilities and the help from site staff. We want to make sure that we are still getting this important service right and hear suggestions for ways we could improve further.”
