Independant Survey Indicates it Will Smell

The following is an extract from the Odour survey carried out for the proposed sewage plant in the village, this survey was carried out as the Enviromental officer at Selby Council had objected to the plant on the grounds that Yorkshire Water had provided no statistical evidence in their submission documents that the new plant would not smell.

Their track record on building sewage plants that do not smell is not great, look at the content within the blog on this subject.

I will allow you to make your own assumptions but if you are still in doubt take a ride to the Selby Barlow site, you dont need a map just follow your nose along the by-pass. (Its on the left just over the new swing bridge)

EXTRACT READS AS FOLLOWS:

"Site visits were carried out on the 28th of May and the 4th of June, both to the existing site at Hemmingbrough and two other sites utilising similar plant to the proposed site; these sites were Easington, Humberside and Selby Barlow. It should be noted that there had been a prolonged period of dry warm weather prior to the site visits, which would be likely to give rise to the greatest amount of odiferous compounds" (stink of human waste to you and I)

Now you know this wonderful sunshine we have had over the last few weeks and the nice cooling breeze that has been blowing through the village, (the prevailing wind will bring it right over the centre of the village) make the most of it because when this thing goes up it will be a different story.
