A powerful protest to rid Fleetwood of a vile stench emanating from the town’s landfill site has taken place.

Hundreds gathered at Jameson Road for a slow walk of defiance to the landfill operated by Transwaste - a community united with a single goal, to shut it down for good. The atmosphere was palpable, the feeling among the people was determination and for many it was a breaking point - enough is enough.

Some wore hazmat suits with hazardous toxin warning signs pinned to their backs, others wore gas masks, face masks and costumes that turned them into living warnings to make their message impossible to ignore.

They carried placards and chanted ‘stop the stink’ in unison amplified by mega phones and anger as they marched along Jameson Road towards the gates of the landfill site.
