Scunthorpe - Watchlist site 86
The site
Under the lead of our East Midlands Enforcement team, we have completed site visits and secured the site. Regulatory action is underway and we are monitoring any further potential environmental risks.
We will continue to monitor the site, assess environmental risks and work with partners, taking appropriate regulatory action, where necessary.
The Problem
There is still a large amount of waste present on watchlist site 86, creating a negative visual impact. There is also an ongoing serious fire risk which is being managed by the Environment Agency’s Regulated Industry East Midlands team and the local fire and rescue service.
The action we’ve taken
Through partnership working and tactical plans, we are monitoring environmental and fire risks. Regulatory action is being taken and prosecution activity is ongoing at this time.
We have received no media or MP interest since the site was successfully closed.
