Perhaps it's more houses for people who felt that the estate at the bottom was too far away from the tip.

Wonder if you'd get a reduction in council tax as you'd be able to take your rubbish accross the road to the tip yourself lol.

Been wondering about this myself. Not seen it close up but noticed it while walking through the cemetery on burnley road.

These works are explained in a reply I got when I made enquiries about the spraying -
At Whinney Hill currently, they have installed and are using a temporary deodoriser (located to the left of the site entrance and up Whinney Hill Road) due to engineering works being carried out on the old part of the site to improve environmental performance. This work involves installing an engineering cap to the landfill which will reduce infiltration of rainwater (and so protect groundwater, as well as allow more efficient collection of landfill gas and use in the gas engines (to produce electricity) and not lost to the atmosphere (greenhouse gas). Part of this work does involve partial re-profiling of the flanks of the landfill therefore old waste has been dug into and moved to other parts of the site. http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...tml#post477781

Sita who own whinney hill tip not the council. have used up the front of the tip to full capacity and are now moving to the rear of the tip thats why there is a deorderiser. On the full side which is covered in white sheets they are landscaping and are planting trees and creating a resivoir and a nature reserve this is what we where told when we asked when we went to the tip to drop some rubbish off.
