Maldon’s waste depot needs more room to keep collections running reliably, officers warned in a July 2026 report. Recycling changes had increased the fleet from 21 to 27 vehicles, leaving cramped space for lorries and raising safety concerns. Officers proposed expanding the Promenade Park depot into the neighbouring parks depot rather than moving elsewhere. They said this option would cause less noise, traffic and congestion for residents than the alternatives. The expansion would be paid for through grant funding, with no extra call on council resources.
