Drop-in session planned to discuss landfill odour issues

The date has been set for a drop-in session to discuss the ongoing odour issues with a landfill site in Fleetwood.

There have been complaints about the Jameson Road Landfill Site in Fleetwood for the past 18 months, in relation to chemical emissions which have been been likened to rotten eggs.

The drop-in session has been organised by the campaign group, Action Against Jameson Road Landfill.

Jess Brown, one of the organisers, said: “It will be an opportunity for people to find out more and ask questions.

“The smell has been as bad as ever and people are also concerned about what effect these chemical fumes are having on their health.”

The event will not be taking place until Friday October 17, from 6pm to 8pm.

It will be held at Fleetwood’s Senior Citizens Assembly Hall on Warrenhurst Road.

Jess explained: “That is the first date that various people will be available, such as our MP Lorraine Beavers.

“It may seem quite far ahead but it will soon come, so people should make a note of it in their diaries.”

The landfill site’s operators, Transwaste Ltd, say the they have made efforts to reduce the emissions and the odour was now “barely perceptible”.

Wyre Council, which owns the site, says the lease will not be renewed after December 31, 2027.
