The Environment Agency have formally launched an investigation into alleged criminal activity at Walley's Quarry. I would like to thank them for taking the time to brief me on this yesterday evening.
I welcome this formal investigation and I would like to thank all the sources that have come forward over the past year.
This is just one step, and it is important for legal reasons not to prejudice or prejudge this investigation. However I know the community will welcome this development.
If you have information that may be of assistance, please contact the EA directly via Enquiries_WestMids@environment-agency.gov.uk
