I think my health is being affected. What can I do?

Question:
I think my health is being affected. What can I do?
Answer:

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA, formerly known as Public Health England) advises all residents to:

  • Close windows in the evenings if there is an outdoor odour, and open them in the morning once any outdoor odour has reduce.

  • Use weather forecasts to identify times your property is downwind (when closing windows can reduce landfill odour indoors) and upwind (when opening windows can reduce any residual odour indoors)

  • Report issues with odours whenever they occur to the Environment Agency using its online form.

  • Complaints of odour nuisance can also be reported to Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council using this form.

  • Contact NHS111 or their GP if you have concerns about your individual circumstances and require health advice.
