\"Walleys<\/h4>\n

The controversial landfill site in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, has entered liquidation after being ordered to close last year.<\/h4>\n

The Environment Agency ordered Walleys Quarry landfill to close after years of complaints from residents over foul-smelling odours.<\/p>\n

The regulator said it concluded that the management of Walleys Quarry is poor and that further operation of the site may result in significant, long-term pollution.<\/p>\n

\"Walleys
Walleys Quarry has been subject to numerous complaints over foul-smelling odours for more than a decade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Walleys Quarry was required to stop accepting waste and take measures to prevent landfill gas emissions from affecting the local community.<\/p>\n

The Environment Agency said it has been informed that Walleys Quarry has entered Liquidation and it has no\u00a0effect\u00a0on\u00a0the existence of WQL or\u00a0the\u00a0Environmental\u00a0Permit.<\/p>\n

The regulator said that the liquidators are also bound by \u201cany\u00a0statutory\u00a0notices in relation to it that may have been issued\u201d.<\/p>\n

Simon Tagg, Leader of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, said: \u201cI am hugely disappointed but not at all surprised that Walleys Quarry Ltd, a company making what I understand was a substantial income, has not remained to honour its obligations to fully cap off and restore the landfill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand residents will be concerned by this news and while the Environment Agency remains the lead regulator of this site, and will now need to take control, we will offer both the EA and liquidator any support we can within our powers to keep this landfill under control.\u201d<\/p>\n
