RESIDENTS living near a tipping site in Radcliffe are calling on Bury Council to tee off with their initial plans for the area.

People looking out onto the tip at the rear of Close Park say the council agreed to construction waste being left at the site for a five-year period, before turning it into a leisure facility.

Mr David Forsyth said: "In 1996 Bury Council agreed that tipping could take place at the rear of Close Park for a period of five years, then a nine-hole golf course and a cricket pitch would be built."

But in February this year, Mr Forsyth and a small group of people attended a councillor's surgery to ask when tipping would stop and the golf course built.

Mr Forsyth said: "We were told that the tip was already too high for a golf course, but that the tipping was to stop soon. It is still going on."
