An enforcement notice against the operator of a landfill in a Lancashire coastal town has been withdrawn after work aimed at reducing smells passed inspection.<\/p>\n
Transwaste, the company that runs the Jameson Road landfill site in Fleetwood, was ordered to temporarily cover recently deposited waste.<\/p>\n
The Environment Agency said the covering would help reduce odour emissions from the landfill, although work on a more permanent covering is continuing.<\/p>\n
The notice was issued on 7 July and required the work to be completed by 20 July. Specialists inspected it the following day and found it complied with the notice, allowing it to be formally withdrawn.<\/p>\n
The covering was installed on the southern part of an area known as Cell 6, which monitoring had identified as the source of the site’s most significant gas emissions.<\/p>\n
The agency said it expected residents would notice a reduction in odour, although work to install a more permanent covering across the whole of Cell 6 is continuing.<\/p>\n
It said officers would also remain in the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An enforcement notice against the operator of a landfill in a Lancashire coastal town has been withdrawn after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":714889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-714888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=714888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/714889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=714888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=714888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=714888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
