Regional officials have carried out an inspection on a waste treatment plant in Campello which is pumping out foul smelling gases.The regional officials inspected the plant on October 27.The Campello council has had many complaints from local residents about the smell.Some of the residents are saying that it is causing them to be unwell.
The council has said that bio-filters had been installed but had not been changed and that the plant is not running in an efficient way.The company which runs the plant has agreed that the filters need changing but that the job has not yet been done.The council feels that the plant should be closed until this job has been completed.Then the origins of the smells could be investigated correctly.
Surely the company running the waste treatment plant comes under the jurisdiction of the council and should the council wish to close them down then they should and could.
