      <title>Porirua City Council put in place new process to tackle Spicer Landfill odour reports</title>
      <link>https://www.gw.govt.nz/your-region/news/porirua-city-council-put-in-place-new-process-to-tackle-spicer-landfill-odour-reports/</link>
      <description>Porirua City Council is putting in a range of new efforts to help make community members’ odour reports for Spicer Landfill easier and provide greater data for the city council.&#xD;
&#xD;
From 8am Tuesday 27 September, Spicer Landfill odour issues should be reported directly to Porirua City Council’s contact centre on 04 237 5089, including after hours.&#xD;
&#xD;
David Down, Porirua City Council Manager Water and Waste, said community reports of odour would be shared with Greater Wellington the same day.&#xD;
&#xD;
“Porirua City Council will be taking the calls and collecting information. We are also looking to engage independent personnel to make odour observations in the community when complaints are received after hours, to help get good data on when and where these occur.</description>
