As confirmed in our statement on May 10th, the Withyhedge landfill site continues to be closed to all waste inputs, with the exception of engineering materials, to accommodate further engineering works.
Nearly £5 million has now been invested into the site over recent months and we will continue to invest as we take all necessary actions relating to previous issues on site. NRW continues to be updated, as the statutory regulator, and fully informed of our work and plans as we proceed.
For further information, in conjunction with this statement, RML has released a more detailed statement regarding the situation at the Withyhedge landfill site since Autumn 2023.
The continued work has resulted in the dissipation of landfill odour, and we anticipate this will continue to be the case going forward, notwithstanding the presence of other odour sources not related to Withyhedge Landfill Site in the vicinity.
In response to a statement from Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC) on May 29th 2024, RML wishes to confirm that the information requested by PCC has yet to be provided to them because the legal basis of their request is part of ongoing litigation and challenge in Court. As this legal process is ongoing, it would therefore be inappropriate to comment further at this time.
RML will continue to supply updates as necessary.
