The odour coming from a organics processing plant at Bromley will be addressed by Chritchurch city councillors next week, as they look at options to redevelop it.
The Bromley plant, which is owned by Christchurch City Council and operated by Living Earth, is where the city's organic waste, including the contents from the kerbside green bins, is processed and turned into compost.
It was identified earlier this year as a cause of the odour problems in Bromley, and the city council has been working with Living Earth to make operational changes at the plant to address the smell.
But in spite of the changes, Bromley residents are still reporting odour problems so the council is now considering options for redeveloping the plant.
The plant currently processes waste through 18 aerated composting tunnels and then transfers the material outside to mature, over several weeks, in windrows.
