I have received a number of reports about a deeply unpleasant smell drifting across North Weald, Moreton and parts of Ongar. The reported 'stench' is believed to come from a commercial composting site on the outskirts of North Weald and I am calling on the Environment Agency to take action to Stop The Smell.
I have been sent some extremely useful data from a resident who has been compiling a list of dates over the last three years when the smell has been particularly bad, and this has enabled me to present a very strong case to the Environment Agency for more to be done to tackle the problem.
