Peterborough's household recycling centre has been re-opened after staffing issues led to a build-up of waste.

The city council closed the centre on Thursday after an "unforeseen driver shortage" caused backlogs at the Fengate site.

It said the problems had been exacerbated by more people visiting during the warmer weather.

The staffing situation had been resolved and the council thanked site users for their "understanding and cooperation" while they worked to clear the excess waste.
