Cornwall Council has provided a full update on waste and recycling centres - including Helston.

Yesterday we brought the news that the sites were to remain open and now the council has provided a statement on the matter.

There are to be no significant changes to the way the sites are currently run - the number plate system will still be in use.

Councillor Rob Nolan, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Public Protection, said:

"I am delighted that HWRCs are allowed to stay open and I'm sure residents will be too.

"During the lockdown we expect that more people will be visiting the sites and this means there could be queues.

"The number plate system helps to limit the number of people at each centre. We ask that people are considerate and stick to the guidelines so we can keep everyone safe."
