Unfortunately there have been reports this week of odour problems in Westerleigh village.
Tulip are investing in a new effluent treatment plant at the abattoir to be installed this autumn/winter. They hope it will be up and running by the end of 2016. They are currently investigating measures to minimise odour release in the meantime.
If you experience an odour which you think may be caused by the abattoir, please call them on 0117 9571919, which is answered 24 hours a day. If the odour persists, please also contact the Environment Agency’s hotline (0800 807060).
It would help the Environment Agency with their investigations if some people kept an odour diary. This simply involves writing down the time, date and a brief description whenever you smell an odour. If you would be prepared to do this, please get in touch with Claire Young and she will pass your contact details on to the Environment Agency official who is investigating.
