WALTERS (UK) IN CAERPHILLY

Early day motion 1473, tabled 7 July 2004 by Wayne David (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House expresses its concern about the operation of Walters (UK) in removing contaminated waste from the Castlegate development (Penrhos) in Caerphilly; believes that the people of Caerphilly are having to endure unacceptable noxious odours because of the failure of the company to prevent atmospheric pollution; points out that the company has belatedly brought in additional equipment, owing to public concern, and that this equipment should have been onsite from the first day of the operation; calls upon Walters (UK) publicly to apologise to the people of Caerphilly for the noxious odours which their operation has released; and suggests that all honourable Members should examine carefully whether this company should carry out future work in their constituencies.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, DUP 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
