A slaughter house will be moved out of Hoi An Town

The slaughter house in the centre of Hoi An Town has been in operation for 30 years. Ho Trong Nghia, former party secretary cum chairman of Son Phong Ward, said the slaughter house was located in his ward had caused severe pollution.

After gathering opinions, the slaughter house was temporarily relocated to Cam Chau Ward, out of residential areas. When the authorities find a better location, they would relocate the slaughterhouse again.

"I only agreed to let the slaughter house stay in Cam Chau Ward for a maximum of five years because of rapid urbanisation. But it was still there when I retired," he said. "I also suggested relocate it several times since more and more private houses, hotels and restaurants have been built."

According to the locals in Cam Chau, whenever it rains, the foul smell from the slaughter house intensifies.

Nguyen Van Son, vice chairman of Hoi An, said after working with Quang Nam Department of Industry and Trade, they have finally completed procedures to relocate the slaughter house to Thanh Ha Industrial Zone.

"The slaughtering process and waste treatment system will be inspected to prevent pollution," he said.
