So far this summer we’ve seen planning applications for new slurry lagoons on sites near Broadmayne and Puddletown and then Crossways.  In each case I have felt the proposed site is too close to nearby houses and not enough account has been taken of the smell and odours that could be generated.  In addition these proposals would require large amounts of slurry to be taken along very narrow pathways and country roads threatening the safety of walkers.  Furthermore transporting large quantities of slurry through villages is unacceptable.  For all of these reasons I have worked with local residents and the local Parish Council to oppose these plans.  The good news today is that all three plans have been withdrawn!  Hopefully more suitable sites can now be found at a fair distance from any residents.
