Ongoing work to reduce odours

The Daldowie Odour Liaison Meeting between SEPA, Drax, Scottish Water and Glasgow City Council was last held on 1 June 2021. These meetings are designed to enable good communication between all relevant partners who share a remit and responsibility and are held regularly. The next meeting will be held in early July.

SEPA has published its SEPA COVID-19 Philosophy and overarching guidance on regulation during COVID-19.

SEPA will continue to:

• Engage with the operator on a regular basis to ensure that investigation into odour complaints is undertaken and that appropriate corrective action is taken
• Undertake both reactive and proactive odour assessments of the Newton Farm area
• Carry out regular inspections of the site
• Follow up complaints received with the site. However, we will be unable to provide a personal response to each complainant, as we would normally have done when complainants request to speak directly to a SEPA officer
• Encourage regular engagement between the operator and the surrounding community.

While we continue to receive complaints regarding an odour in the Newton Farm area and we proactively and reactively attend we will consider all enforcement options.
