An anaerobic digestion plant where a worker died in an industrial incident has been hit with a notice from a government body.
Pretoria Energy Mepal, which is based between Ely and Chatteris, was served the improvement notice by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
It follows an industrial incident at its site in Ireton Way on November 17, 2025, in which Žavinta Petrašiūtė sadly died.
Since then, her family have paid tribute to a "bright, hardworking and kind young woman" who was "loved and appreciated by everyone who knew her."
A GoFundMe page launched to pay for the funeral of Ms Petrašiūtė raised more than £14,000 in 24 hours.
A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Constabulary said: “Officers are carrying out enquiries, and the Health and Safety Executive has been informed.”
The notice was served on the firm on November 25, eight days after Ms Petrašiūtė was pronounced dead.
