Work has started this week to cover areas of Cell 6 which are up to approved contour height with soil in preparation for permanent capping.

The site closed on Christmas Eve and barring a small amount of work on 29 and 30 December, it remained closed for the Christmas and New Year period, reopening again on Monday 5 January. We are aware of some odour issues over the period, but this was not caused by work on site and Melton CLP, the gas operator, had staff on site over the period to manage gas extraction. 

Works have been taking place on site to drill 16 new wells to improve gas extraction. Unfortunately this has created some temporary odour which has been exacerbated by the still weather conditions slowing its dispersal. 

Transwaste has today announced the launch of the Jameson Road Community Benefit Fund, a significant new funding programme designed to deliver lasting financial and social benefits to communities near the Jameson Road landfill site in Fleetwood.

Work has started today to bring Cell 5 up to its approved final contour level.

Engineering work has been taking place this week to permanently cap the leachate chamber that was previously causing an issue. This work involved removing the temporary cap and replacing it with a “biscuit lid” to improve the seal.
