Hafod protesters block ‘rotten egg smell’ Johnstown landfill site

Ian Edwards, who has long been protesting at the site, said the smell in the summer was “horrendous”, and that people two miles away have to keep their windows shut.

Carrie Harper, from Wrexham council, said no local waste was taken to the Hafod site, and areas of north-west England that use the site for dumping their waste need to take action.

“People have to be accountable for the wellbeing and quality of life for people who are living in this area,” she said, adding that residents have had a “gutful” and the site should be closed down.

Earlier this week, Clwyd South Member of the Senedd (MS) Ken Skates said the “disgusting” smells coming from the site “can’t carry on”.

Mr Silvester said the company has undertaken “capping and gas extraction system works” aimed at addressing odour emissions at the site.

“The landfill site holds an environmental permit and is stringently regulated by NRW to ensure the on-site activities do not cause harm to human health or the environment,” he said.
