Westerleigh smell - an open meeting

There has been an ongoing problem with a bad smell in Westerleigh. On Monday 4 October the Parish Council are holding an open meeting in the Village Hall to which representatives of Tulip, Wessex Water and the Environment Agency are invited. The representatives will be given a chance to address the meeting and there will then be a question and answer session. Flyers will be going out to all residents.

Claire Young has been working with the Parish Council in the run-up to this meeting. The South Glos environmental health team are unable to take action under "nuisance" legislation because the offence does not arise on a "premises" (sewers are not classed as such). They have however been redirecting enquiries to the Environment Agency and were able to provide contacts for the Parish Clerk to invite to the meeting.
