Issue - meetings

This item includes a supplementary report.

The report was noted.

Cabinet considered an update report on odour issues from Walley’s Quarry.  The report outlined the current position following the operator’s appeal against the Abatement Notice served by the Council on 13 August 2021.  Members were informed of the requirement for data sharing with the operator and the rules around this.  There had been no agreement to undertake mediation at this stage.  The complaint data was presented which showed recent increases in complaint levels; this issue had produced the largest source of complaints to the council.  Air quality monitoring was being undertaken until March 2022 with static monitors at four stations; data from April 2021 was presented.  The council had also procured two Jerome monitors which were deployed in selected residents homes or business premises; current data was outlined.

Resolved: that the report was noted.
