The Parkwood Landfill site is situated in Shirecliffe,
During the autumn of 2004 Hugh James were approached by the Parkwood Action Group to investigate the possibility of bringing a group civil claim against the operators of the Landfill site – Viridor Waste Management Ltd.
Residents alleged a nuisance from odour, dust, litter, noise and rats and other pests from the Landfill Site. Residents stated that they could not sit out in their garden and were forced to keep windows and doors closed because of the problems coming from the landfill site.
Proceedings were issued in the High Court’s Technology Construction Court List due to the complex nature of the case. We were appointed by the High Court to act as lead Solicitors and in August 2006 His Honour Judge John Bullimore granted a Group Litigation Order to co-ordinate the case.
A total of 156 households brought claims within the group litigation which have now been concluded.
