The Liberal Party welcomes the announcement of an Environment Agency investigation into potential illegal activities at a number of sites jointly run by Walleys Quarry Limited and Red Industries Limited most importantly at Cemetery Road, Silverdale, Newcastle under Lyme.
Potentially damaging omission’s, particularly hydrogen sulphide, have blighted local communities in the area and potentially affected the health and wellbeing of residents and their families.
We believe that statuary bodies such as the Environment Agency should act in the interests of both local resident and businesses to ensure that the burying and disposal of waste does not create a long-term hazard.
They must also act to protect communities and the environment in a pro-active manner, seeking to identify and manage such issues in a proactive way without the need for public pressure to take notice and act.
