Community

WRG is committed to ongoing communication with the local community regarding its operations at Welbeck and has welcomed visitors to the site for many years. In fact, many schoolchildren have visited the site for educational visits and site tours have also been held for other local community groups.

Open day - Saturday 27 September 2008

A successful open day took place at the Welbeck site with a steady stream of visitors attending during the afternoon. Provided with the opportunity to find out more about how the site is operated and how it will be restored in the future, visitors also had the opportunity to take a tour around the site.

Site management were on hand all afternoon to answer questions and visitors were also able to chat with representatives from Infinis Ltd, the renewable energy company that will be operating the landfill gas electricity generation plant at Welbeck; WREN, who help to fund community and environmental projects through the Landfill Communities Scheme; and the Environment Agency, who regulate the site. The falconer, who helps to control scavenging birds on the landfill, was also on hand with several of his birds of prey on display.

Should any community groups have missed the opportunity to attend the open day, please contact the site management via the contact section on this website to request a visit.
