Swindon Gateway Warehouse Near A419 Set To Become Regional Logistics Hub

Several developments related to waste management and infrastructure are underway in the UK. In Swindon, a large warehouse distribution centre called Gateway 100 is under construction near the A419, promising local job creation and improved business opportunities, with traffic infrastructure improvements mandated before its use. Meanwhile, a Surrey council has converted 28 waste collection vehicles to run on hydrotreated vegetable oil, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 76% per vehicle and supporting the council's net zero target by 2030. Additionally, a former recycling centre in Surrey has been approved for conversion into a storage depot for coaches and lorries, despite concerns about green belt openness and site contamination. Separately, a 'Clean Sri Lanka' programme is establishing solid waste recycling centres at local government institutions to enhance waste recycling efforts, with 54 locations selected and feasibility studies underway. These initiatives reflect ongoing efforts to balance development, environmental responsibility, and waste management.
