VILLAGERS have vowed to fight a waste company plan to site rubbish skips yards from a caravan park.
Durham County Waste Management wants to open a recycling depot in a compound behind the Oakleaf caravan park at Wolsingham, on a bridleway known as Sawmill Lonnen.
Residents fought off a similar proposal in 2001, but the company says it has looked at other possible locations and this is the most suitable replacement for its waste dump at Browns Houses, Frosterley.
Wolsingham Parish Council has already told the company it will oppose any planning application.
District councillor Vere Shuttleworth and county councillor John Shuttleworth have both suggested an alternative site off the A689, at Windy Nook.
