Three recycling centres could be closed and replaced with two new modern waste facilities.Labour-run Milton Keynes City Council announced plans to shut tips at Newport Pagnell and New Bradwell next year and Bleak Hall in 2028.

They would then be replaced by a site in the north of the city, in Wolverton, which could cost £4m and open in 2026, and one for Snelshall in the south, which could cost £6m and open in 2028.The authority said its existing facilities were at "a critical investment juncture" and "do not offer the range of services" found at other sites in neighbouring areas.The Wolverton site would be built near an existing waste recovery facility - which the authority planned to convert into an Eco Park to provide green energy to the city.

The southern site at Snelshall is due to be a purpose-built reuse centre.The authority hoped the new sites would provide pedestrian and cycle access for residents without cars, weatherproof access, accessibility for residents with mobility issues, improved signage and better separation of pedestrian and heavy goods traffic as well as being able to cope with the future growth of the city.

, the council believed the existing facilities would not have room to accommodate that growth, as they were converted from old utility locations or constructed on land made available when Milton Keynes was being built.

The authority was also concerned that they were largely based in residential locations and that all sites were seen as too expensive to upgrade.Chad has given no official reason for the arrest of Shugalei and his two associates.

Multiple theories abound – some more plausible than others.Russian state-controlled news channel RT reported that the arrests were instigated by France, but this is most likely a fiction designed to save face, Ms Ochieng tells the BBC.

Since at least May, Russia has been pushing the narrative that the West's traditional influence in Chad is waning.But, although Chad has recently signed deals with Russia on infrastructure and security, it still hosts French troops, and retains good relations with the former colonial power, unlike several of its Francophone neighbours which have tilted towards Russia.
