Bosses at a recycling plant want to operate 24-hours a day after installing quieter machinery. J Dickinson and Sons Limited run a waste transfer station and materials recycling facility at Station Road in Blackrod.

A planning application published by Bolton council said there are currently conditions restricting working hours apply at the site.

Dickinsons would like to alter it to allow 24 hour working inside the main transfer station building. They said they do not wish to alter the access times for vehicles and it is not proposed to operate any of the external plant outside of the current permitted day time hours.

The recycling plant is within Rivington View Business Park.
