Available for over a year

A year on from the closure of a controversial landfill site, Newcastle Borough Council is calling on the government to help with planning its long-term future. The Environment Agency (EA) shut Walleys Quarry in Silverdale, Staffordshire, in November 2024, and in February this year the company operating it went bust before abandoning the site.
