Ash Facility Dust Plagues Whittlesey Residents
8 Oct
Summary
- Residents near an ash processing facility report dust, noise, and bad smells.
- A local expressed fear of potentially poisonous material release into the environment.
- The council's report did not investigate causes or attribute blame for issues.
People residing close to an ash processing facility have been subjected to persistent dust, noise, and foul smells. These issues have been highlighted following a study by Cambridgeshire County Council, which examined the living conditions for residents within a 0.6-mile radius of Saxon Pit in Whittlesey.
One concerned local shared fears with the BBC about the possible release of hazardous substances into the surroundings. Despite the residents' experiences, the report conducted by the Liberal Democrat-run council has not delved into the origins of these problems or identified responsible parties. This lack of definitive findings has led to questions about the report's effectiveness.
