Walleys Quarry stench prompts more than 700 complaints in a day

The EA said that as of midday Monday, it was aware of more than 760 complaints on Friday, with more data still to be processed.

Lee Bernadette Walford, from the Stop the Stink campaign group, said: “We’ve had the second highest number of complaints in the first week of January essentially since 2022.

“So instead of people having some relief over Christmas and new year, it’s back off the scale again, which is just absolutely dreadful.”

She stated “this is a public health emergency”.

“I do believe that residents should be getting evacuated from this area, starting with the children and the most vulnerable and then the rest of us.”
