Your request
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the number of nuisance smell complaints received by the council in the 2021 calendar year.
To be clear, I am referring to complaints made about nuisance smells that could be a ‘statutory nuisance’ (covered by the Environmental Protection Act 1990) as defined in this guidance from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nuisance-smells-how-councils-deal-with-complaints
Our response
The system used by Lambeth Council captures Odours, Fumes and Gas for both Domestic and Commercial properties.
I can confirm that we received 15 complaints relating to these issues in 2021.
