Decision:
That the contents of the update report be noted.
Minutes:
The Leader presented a report updating Cabinet on the latest position regarding Walleys Quarry including Key Performance Indicators provided by the operator.
Complaints remained down on historical levels although there were some days when complaints spiked, on days when the weather was cold.
The Council had commissioned an independent evaluation of the data
from October, 2022 to February, 2023 to see how the current situation compared to what would be required, as defined as a statutory nuisance.
The Council was remaining vigilant and officers were in contact with the operator and the Environment Agency.
The local MP had suggested that the company should apologise or consider compensation for everyone who had been affected by the odours. However, compensation claims would need to be made by individuals and not by the Council.
Members agreed that an apology from the company would be a good gesture.
Resolved: That the contents of the update report be noted.
