Improvements made at Llanelli regulated site
Improvements made at AMG Resources Limited’s Llanelli site have enabled Natural Resources Wales (NRW) to withdraw a partial suspension notice, whilst regulatory action and close monitoring at site continue.
AMG was temporarily stopped from bringing certain waste types onto the site since the notice was issued on 23 July 2026. This followed an investigation by Carmarthenshire County Council into increased fly activity affecting parts of Llanelli, which identified the permitted facility as a source of the problem.
Since enforcement action was taken, NRW Waste Regulation Officers have carried out weekly visits to assess compliance with the requirements of the suspension notice and to monitor environmental risks associated with the site.
Recent inspections have confirmed significant improvements to operations at the site including measures to improve waste management practices and site conditions. This has addressed the issues that led to the partial suspension notice being served and it is considered the site is no longer contributing to the fly issues experienced in the area.
Ed Davies, NRW’s South-West Team Leader for Industry and Waste Regulation, said:
"Protecting people and the environment is a priority for us and we take regulatory action when necessary.
“Since the suspension notice was issued, the operator has undertaken extensive work to improve waste management practices and site housekeeping.
“Whilst this is a positive step, our regulatory activity continues. An enforcement notice remains in place, requiring waste to be stored within the permitted site boundaries, and we will continue to monitor compliance closely and take further action if necessary.
“The operator is also required to strengthen its pest management arrangements, review site operations and implement any further measures needed to minimise the risk of similar issues occurring in the future. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of these measures through ongoing inspection and regulation.
We recognise the impact that increased fly activity has had on local residents and businesses and would like to thank the community for its patience while we carried out our investigation and regulatory action.”
NRW continues to closely monitor the site to ensure waste operations comply with environmental legislation and permit conditions. Further actions requiring AMG to review existing pest management arrangements and identify additional measures to reduce the risk of similar issues occurring in the future are in place.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s Public Health Team has also taken action on the concerns about flies in the area including inspections of potential source locations, monitoring activity, engagement with local communities, and implementing mitigation measures, including placing strategically located fly traps in the affected area.
Residents are encouraged to continue reporting fly activity to the Council by emailing publicprotection@carmarthernshire.gov.uk or telephoning 01267 234567.
These reports help officers monitor trends, assess whether conditions are improving and target any necessary intervention.
