PORK FARMS AMMONIA LEAK 13th February 2008 A report in this week's Nottingham Evening Post highlighted a leak of ammonia at the Pork Farms plant. Wilford Community Group has been trying to contact Pork farms since December last year to seek assurances either that there is no risk to Wilford residents from such a leak or that procedures are in place to evacuate Wilford if a risk exits, but Pork Farms have failed to reply to our correspondence. Following this week's leak, WCG has now contacted the Fire Service to explain the significance of the Fire Officer's comment that "If it had been windy we would have had to evacuate downwind."
