Parkwood Landfill Site (Sheffield)

 landfill site / rubbish/garbage dump  Add category

The Parkwood Landfill site is situated in Shirecliffe, Sheffield. Whilst the landfill site has been there since the 1920’s over the past few years the landfill site has become a nuisance to local residents, partly due to new housing development around the site's perimeter.

During the Autumn of 2004 law firm Hugh James were approached by the Parkwood Action Group to investigate the possibility of bringing a group civil claim against the operators of the Landfill site – Viridor Waste Management Ltd.

Residents alleged a nuisance from odour, dust, litter, noise and rats and other pests and
claimed that they could not sit out in their gardens or open windows and doors because of the problems coming from the landfill site.
