A TIP next door to an Olympic hockey training centre will stay open during the Games, the council has said.


But Essex County Council said the area around Chigwell Recycling Centre in Luxborough Lane next to the Old Loughtonians Hockey Club, where athletes started arriving on Monday (July 16), is likely to be congested until September 8.


The tip is open Mondays and Tuesdays from 9am to 5pm and from Fridays to Sundays from 9am to 5pm.
