I live 2.9 km from St Helen's Meat packers. Occasionally I do get an unpleasant odour when I am outdoors. Now that they are building a new plant about halfway towards my home, I expect things to get much worse. About once a year when I shop at the Stockyards village, I have experienced a totally revolting smell that could only be avoided by staying in the shops. The very idea of St Helen's and other surrounding factories asking for the right to increase emissions is ridiculous. This is not an industrial area. It is residential and parkland and is inhabited by breathing adults and children who don't need more emissions.
