Issue - meetings

That the contents of the update report be noted.

The Chief Executive presented an update on Walleys Quarry’s odours including complaints received and information coming from the monitoring stations. After a rise in the spring the number of complaints was now back to a low level. The monitoring stations as for themselves were showing steady levels under the threshold set by the World Health Organisation. The Council was working closely with the operator.

Cllr Fear welcomed the overall good figures and expressed his confidence that small spikes should go down as well with additional expert input. The Leader reminded that the site had been caped which should bring even more positive results by the autumn. The issue should in all cases remain a key priority with regular updates to members.

Resolved:     That the contents of the update report be noted.
