Hafod Landfill Site: odour, monitoring and enforcement
The committee noted the report and supported the ongoing work to reduce odour from the site and its impact on public health. It asked for a further update in six months, including details of toxicity and any resulting health impacts on nearby residents. It asked the Council to explore expanding monitoring stations in the surrounding community. It also asked the Council to explore, if odour readings stay above accepted limits, action under the Environmental Protection Act (a law giving councils powers over pollution) to tackle any statutory nuisance (a legal term for a problem that unreasonably affects people's use of their property) caused by the site.
Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
