‘Stop the Stink’ campaigners prevent Anaerobic Digestion plant in Farnsfield

Farnsfield residents have foiled plans for a new renewable energy plant, after a campaign against the potential smell.

Hundreds of ‘Stop the Stink’ campaigners were against the environmentally-friendly Anaerobic Digester that was proposed for a site on Baulker Lane by nearby farmers, Freshgro Ltd.

The plant – which would generate energy through the breaking down of food and plant waste – was planned to be around 700 metres away from Wheelgate Park theme park.
