“Our plant takes delivery of local food waste and converts it into clean energy that powers homes and businesses in the local area. As a local business, we take all issues regarding the environment and our local community very seriously.
In response to concerns raised by local residents, both an Environment Agency audit and an in-depth, independent audit of the site were conducted in recent weeks. The Environment Agency audit confirmed that there were no off site odours detectable at the time of the audit.
The independent audit raised a number of actions that could be taken to improve the odour abatement capability of the site. We have immediately taken the recommended steps to further limit any potential impact of our operation on the local community.
In addition we have cancelled deliveries of the more potentially odorous feed stocks on a permanent basis.”
