Duckmanton landfill site stench leaves villagers in despair
Residents of Duckmanton in Derbyshire report severe odours and fly infestations from the nearby Erin landfill, saying conditions have become intolerable during recent hot weather. Homeowners describe health concerns, loss of quality of life and difficulty selling homes. Operator Valencia Waste attributes the problem to delays in approval for a new tipping area and says it has halted waste deliveries and is increasing soil capping. The Environment Agency is inspecting daily and may take enforcement action. MP Toby Perkins urges stronger pressure to ensure improvements.
