The Local Environment

The Link 51 manufacturing plants are all located in close proximity to residential areas. The Brierley Hill production facility in particular runs parallel with a local canal network, situated opposite a school and in close proximity to a major shopping centre that serves the local area. Link 51 recognises the duties and responsibilities that are placed upon it to exercise due diligence for the local community and avoid nuisance or distress to the public.

As part of the 14001 management programme for the site there were specific targets achieved with regard to this ongoing challenge. In particular the creation and correct use of waste segregation systems on site as well as the improved visual impact concerning the aesthetics to the entrance of the shopping complex and surrounding areas.

The assessment of noise levels from the site is conducted every 2 years to ensure that there are no negative effects on the local community.

The Link 51 controls and commitment to minimising its nuisance levels and impact on the environment are measured by customer complaints. Link 51 has received no complaints from neighbouring organisations and the local public in recent years. This is testament to the success of the management process in place.
