Coventry's tip to reopen with strict new rulesCoventry’s London Road tip is to reopen with strict new rules from Monday, May 18, it has been announced.
Council bosses say they are expecting the site to be “extremely busy” and advising residents to only make a visit “if it’s necessary”.
A string of strict measures have been drafted up to minimise the number of people in attendance at any one time.
It includes:
- Residents having to book a slot by using the booking form at http://www.coventry.gov.uk/booktip.
- Residents will have to provide proof of residency as the centre is only available to those who live in Coventry.
- Vans and large trailers are banned from entering.
- Only one person per vehicle is permitted.
Those booking a slot will need to enter their car registration number so on-site security personnel will be able to check that visitors to the centre have booked.
People turning up for pre-booked slots will be asked to bring proof of residency through a closed window before they are permitted in – this can be a recent tax bill or a driving licence.
Anyone who attempts to enter the site without a booking slot will be refused entry, the city council said.
To minimise traffic outside the centre, people will also be asked to arrive at the site no more than 10 minutes before their allocated time.
Once inside, all visitors must follow the social distancing guidelines by remaining 2m (6ft) apart at all times.
Anyone who doesn’t follow the rules or is aggressive to staff will also be removed from the site, bosses have warned.
As an alternative, the council’s bulky waste collection service will also be restarting on Monday, May 18.
