Eco Park Stink!!

Who could not have noticed the disgusting stink from the Eco Park last month? Walking across the beautiful Sunbury golf club during lockdown was a delight, but the choking stink from the chimney really spoiled it. So many people on social media commented on it from all around the area. So, did you report it? It really important that everyone reports everything to the Environment Agency. They are available on 0800807060. You can report on smells, noise, air quality etc. It’s a 24 hour hot line, they are friendly and helpful and it takes 2 minutes! The more that report the stronger our case! Lots of people rang them last night! The EA issue the license for the Eco Park to operate, and can withdraw that too! Please call in if it affects you. 

It is also worth calling Environmental Health at Spelthorne Council. Both parties need to be aware. There have been a huge amount of complaints. There is an article from Suez in this issue, explaining the technology and emphasising that it does not produce a smell. Their explanation is that any smell would come from refuse lorries delivering.
