Question
How is the Welsh Government supporting those people affected by the Withyhedge landfill site?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
I have emphasised to Natural Resources Wales who as the statutory body for regulating waste facilities, the need for swift action to prevent further odours. Natural Resources Wales are responding as a priority to resolve the issue and have increased their presence on site and will continue to update the community as activities progress. I would encourage residents to continue to report any instances of odour to Natural Resources Wales as this will help inform the effectiveness of the measures being taken.
