This is why a one-minute siren will sound in Yorkshire on Thursday
A siren will sound out at a chemical plant on Thursday in West Yorkshire.
Solenis at Low Moor near Bradford will carry out a test-sounding of its off-site emergency siren at 10am and 8pm on Thursday June 4, 2026.
The siren, which produces a sound of increasing and decreasing pitch, will operate for one minute on each occasion, the company said.
There is no need for members of the public, who hear the siren, to take any action.
The Emergency Services have been informed of the test sounding of the siren, Solenis said.
Residents living within the Public Information Zone around the Solenis site at Low Moor received a leaflet giving details of this test early in 2026.
However, if neighbours are new to the area or have lost the leaflet they should contact Solenis.
The test sounding is being carried out as part of the company’s obligations under the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 (COMAH Regulations).
