In recent weeks I have been contacted by a number of Great Oakley residents in respect of their concerns regarding smells emanating from the Rushton landfill site. As a result, I have been intensively raising their concerns with the Environment Agency, Corby Borough Council, Kettering Borough Council and Mick George Ltd, the site operators. Going forward, it is vital that people report any odour issues when they arise and I will also be keeping in close contact with local residents in the future to monitor progress, but it is encouraging that these concerns are being taken seriously and action taken.
