Preseli Pembrokeshire Senedd Member Paul Davies has responded to Natural Resources Wales (NRW)’s latest update on Withyhedge landfill site, calling for the site to be closed down. Natural Resources Wales has said today (19 July) that the operator at the Withyhedge landfill site has met the requirements set out in the Enforcement Notices it was served, but that further investigations will continue to take place.
Mr Davies said, “Whilst RML may have now complied with the latest Enforcement Notices, the fact remains that people are continuing to suffer because of this operator and I believe it’s vital that the site is closed down. NRW has made it clear that further investigations are still taking place and the operator could still face charges relating to breaches of their environmental permit conditions.”
“Make no mistake, this is far from over and it’s even more important now that there is an independent public inquiry into the management of the Withyhedge landfill site, so that the community can get the answers it deserves and the operator can be held accountable for their actions.”
