One of Ipswich’s former coal mining areas has been at the centre of unpleasant odour complaints for years and more recently under scrutiny from a public health inquiry. NuGrow’s Jacob Wilson joins the show to talk specifically about what happens at their site, the smells, and next steps on the ground to reduce odours from their business.
