People living near to a landfill site in Fleetwood, Lancashire, have told LBC they have become prisoners in their own homes because of a horrific smell clouding their neighbourhoods.
The Transwaste site on Jameson Road has been heavily criticised for allowing the stench to drift across the area, with locals saying they are waking up in the night unable to breathe.The landfill site is half a mile from a caravan park and multiple holiday lets, with a college campus, primary school and nature reserve within a mile radius. Thousands of homes are within a stones-throw of the site, along with supermarkets, football clubs and parks.
People can't hang their washing out because it's smelling. It takes people's breath away. If you have any form of anxiety and something's taking your breath away, when you're asleep people are stopping breathing. These are people with serious health concerns who can't have a window open. This is how people are having to live.
