One family left the area to visit relatives up north to avoid the stench during the festive season, it is claimed.
Residents want to see the “managed closure” of a landfill site in Glasgow’s East End due to an “unbearable” smell which forced some families to “cancel Christmas.”
Mr O’Donnell said the stench has been “unbearable for neighbours, particularly in Broomhouse and Mount Vernon, ”and a leakage in December meant “people had to basically cancel Christmas.” It was withdrawn on February 23, allowing the company to recommence accepting all waste allowed under its permit. He added: “Really what we are looking for here is managed closure ultimately. “We have been fortunate in that the communities have actually backed us. People are interested and they are interested because their lives are affected by it.”
She added: “If Patersons can’t prevent this pollution then they shouldn’t be operating. It’s as simple as that.”
