It is very disappointing - however not surprising - that the operator of Walley's Quarry landfill has waited until the eleventh hour to submit an appeal to Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council's abatement notice.
This will regrettably greatly extend this legal process. The Environment Agency's enforcement action, which is separate to the council's notice, continues.
Once again, I call upon the operator to apologise, take full ownership of the issue, and set out what reparations they intend to make to the community.
