Yorkshire Water to attend Council Cabinet on Odour Problem

YORKSHIRE WATER have been invited to attend East Riding Council's ruling Cabinet meeting to address concerns about the persistent foul odours that emanate from the Waste Water Treatment works at Saltend.

The invite to Yorkshire Water was issued following the Cabinet Meeting on 20th July which had highlighted the long standing odour problems from the site. The meeting had agreed that "if necessary" the Council would review an earlier decision not to pursue the odours as a Statutory Nuisance at this stage.

The Council has previously agreed to work with the water company - rather than treat the company as a public nuisance - on measures to manage the smells, including Yorkshire Water's proposed £3m 'odour mitigation works' on the site.

The Cabinet Meeting will take place on Tuesday 19th October at 10.30am at County Hall, Beverley. The public are entitled and welcome to attend these meetings.
