In 2023, we posted about Walleys Quarry Landfill site in Silverdale near Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, and the long-running battle by local people to Stop the Stink.
Yesterday, the Environment Agency finally showed its teeth:
The Environment Agency has today, 28 November 2024, issued a Closure Notice to Walleys Quarry Ltd (WQL).
