Public meeting set over Jameson Road landfill as Fleetwood campaigners push for closure
A public meeting takes place on Friday to discuss the next steps in the campaign to stop the stench.
Residents are being urged to attend a peaceful and informative public meeting about the foul odour from the Jameson Road landfill site.
The event will feature a range of speakers, and attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the campaign and how they can get involved.
Allison Rowe, a leading protester in the campaign to close the site — operated by Transwaste — said strong public support is essential.
She said: “We will be discussing our future plans and lots of other information can be shared.
“We must not give up, we shall remain stronger together and continue to hold the authorities to account.
“The only thing we want and shall achieve is permanent closure of Jameson Road Landfill.”
Campaigners say the fight continues, with ongoing fundraising efforts to purchase four air quality monitors in a bid to challenge findings gathered by the Environment Agency.
A health survey is also being prepared to better understand how odours from the site are affecting residents.
Jess Brown, of the Action Against Jameson Road landfill group, said: “We are gathering health mapping as a group so we can form our own health evidence to challenge and present to the authorities and for it to go hand in hand with our gas monitoring to have solid evidence.”
The public meeting will take place on Friday, May 1, at 6.30pm at the United Reformed Church Hall on Dronsfield Road in Fleetwood.
