JR launched about Belfast Landfill Stench.

Our client has launched High Court action over a stench allegedly coming from a landfill site in west Belfast.

Judicial review proceedings are being taken against public bodies in a bid to ensure the eradication of odours at the Mullaghglass facilities.

Harry Robinson said the situation had led to more than 100 complaints from those “plagued” by the smells.

Our client claims the relevant authorities have failed in their statutory duty to the residents affected.

The challenge is directed against both the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and the Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council.

Noeleen McAleenon, one of those living in the area, is behind the legal action.

She said: “My neighbours and I have been suffering this odour and its effects for far too long now.
