VILLAGERS against a proposed recycling plant in South Killingholme drummed up the support of passing motorists during a second protest.
Residents with placards stood outside Poplar Farm, in Ulceby Road – a former pig farm where ClarkeSon Recycling wants to create a "recycling centre of excellence" and bring 35 jobs to the area.
As reported, protestors are opposed to the plan because they claim it is too close to their homes, that it would smell and attract rodents.
Managing director Steve Clarke aimed to reassure residents at a recent public consultation event.
But one resident at the protest said: "It shouldn't be built within the village because it is far too close to our homes."
Another added: "We have the oil refineries one side so we don't need this recycling plant another.
"I am born and bred in this village and it is home so I don't want to see this coming our way."
Mr Clarke was unavailable for comment but has previously told the Telegraph that the firm controls the smell problem as it does at its other site in Riby.
He said: "I am more than happy for any residents to look at my plant in Riby to see how it works.
"I will be the closest resident to the plant as I will be living in the farmhouse there – so if it smelt that bad, I would not live there.
"Compost will be in glass houses and the vapour which smells will be collected for nitrogen.
"We don't have a problem with pests or rodents in our current site.
"I will create 35 jobs in the town because I want to keep everything local. Local tradesmen will construct the plant and I will be supplying to local businesses, too.
"Since I began my business in 2006, I have had 150 complaints – only seven of them were agreed by the Environmental Agency and were resolved."
