A large fire in Grantham broke out at the Environcom recycling plant in Spittlegate Level yesterday evening.
Machinery and a large quantity of recycling materials were lost in the blaze and the factory badly affected by smoke damage.
There was a fire at the Grantham Environcom site last night, which was contained quickly thanks to the Lincolnshire Fire Brigade. Having assessed the situation this morning I can confirm there are no casualties and limited damage to plant and machinery.
Further to a meeting with the Fire Brigade this morning, Environcom will be operating business as usual next week. I can also reassure local Grantham residents that there is no environmental concern.
