MP calls for independent monitoring of Kronospan

Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes has called for the independent monitoring of air quality and noise levels at the Kronospan factory in Chirk.

Mr Baynes held a walk-in surgery at the Parish Hall in Chirk last Saturday which was attended continuously by local residents from 9am – 5pm either in groups or individually. 

He says the main topic of discussion was the recent fire at Kronospan and people’s concerns about air quality and noise levels at the factory.

Mr Baynes said: “There is huge concern locally about the recent fire at Kronospan and how it started so it is vital that an open and transparent investigation is conducted into the causes of the fire and that the full findings of the report are made available to the public. 

"Residents of Chirk and the surrounding area also spoke on Saturday about their ongoing concerns about air quality and noise levels from the factory and these issues need to be addressed urgently by Kronospan by independent monitoring.

"I am working with Chirk Town Council and Wrexham Council and look forward to these matters being progressed with Kronospan.”
