Composting plant in Sharpness to be shut down for two months (From Gazette Series)

Composting plant in Sharpness to be shut down for two months (From Gazette Series): "RESIDENTS who have had their lives blighted by putrid smells from a composting plant can breathe easily for two months while the building is shut down.

People in Sharpness are thrilled that the owners of the composting plant, New Earth Solutions (NES), have decided the close it for two months to try to get the smells under control.

It is a massive step forward for the residents’ campaign and will be the first time the plant has been closed for over three years.

Pam Constable, who lives on Sharpness marina, said: 'We have fought tooth and nail to get this. The stench has been horrendous over the last few months, at last we have got the doors shut.'"
