Let's make the Ampthill community a safer place!


Welcome to your community safety website! Established in 2006 as an offshoot of REVAMP (Ampthill) Ltd., the ACSG has spread its wings considerably. We intend to use this website to better inform you about what we do to suppport local authorities in their duty to provide a safe living and working environment in our town and larger community. As well, you can let us know your local safety concerns.

In 2011, residents of Tavistock Avenue and surrounding area started complaining of foul odours coming from the Station Road Industrial Estate area and approached Central Bedfordshire's Environment officers for help.  It appeared that a company had started disposing of domestic waste without a licence and Central Bedfordshire warned them not do continue with it or, if they did want to continue, to find other premises.

 

Earlier this year ACSG had reports from residents again and members witnessed the odour on one of their Street Watch patrols.  A planning officer, Minerals and Waste Planning Team, said that they were working in conjunction with the Environment Agency to ensure that the site works to what is permitted.  The company has been served a Breach of Condition notice and have been told to reduce the stock pile height and therefore reduce the amount of waste coming in.
