Update on Jameson Road Landfill site
PAGE LAST UPDATED: 26 February 2026
About this page
This page contains information about Jameson Road Landfill in Fleetwood. It sets out the role of Wyre Council and the legal powers the authority holds in respect of the site.
Our position
Wyre Council is aligned with the views of local residents and understands unwanted odour from the site is having a significant impact on the community. We share our residents’ concerns and are committed to bringing about a long-lasting resolution as a matter of priority.
Latest updates
What powers does Wyre Council hold?
The council holds powers under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to deal with issues that constitute a statutory nuisance.
While no landfill will be completely odour free, these powers can be used if the level of odour is found to unreasonably interfere with people’s enjoyment of their home, garden or place of work.
Wyre Council can issue an abatement notice to the person/s responsible if a nuisance can be evidenced to the standard required to satisfy the legal criteria for statutory nuisance.
How you can help
Complete a diary sheet
The council can only take a case of statutory nuisance forward if it has strong evidence to the standard required by a court.
- Complete diary sheets
You should record the date and time you noticed the smell, how strong it was, where you could smell the odour on your property and the impact it had on you.
Diary sheets should be completed every day for at least seven consecutive days (ideally 14) and submitted to the council regularly. - Agree to an officer verification visit
An environmental protection officer must witness the odour themselves in order for the council to action a case of statutory nuisance on behalf of residents.
We will contact you to arrange a time for a visit to take place. These visits can be undertaken outside of normal working hours if this is when the smell is most noticeable.
What to include
- Please complete at least seven consecutive days (ideally 14) of entries. ‘No odour’ can be used for days with no impact
- Provide include the time and date and how long the odour lasted
- Describe how the odour is interfering in the use and enjoyment of your property
- Only include information about the impact of the odour whilst at your property rather than when you are out and about in the community
- Ensure your diary sheet is signed with your name before you submit

The role of the Environment Agency
The Environment Agency is the primary regulator of waste activities under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations.
This means the Environment Agency is responsible for monitoring the day-to-day activity at Jameson Road Landfill by its operator, Transwaste Recycling and Aggregates Ltd.
The Environment Agency holds powers to take enforcement action if the operator is found to be in breach of its Environmental Permit. Enforcement action by the Environment Agency can result in suspension of activity on site.
