Family of five-year-old boy with breathing problems take nearby quarry owners to High Court
A community blighted by noxious smells from a landfill site has come together for a High Court legal challenge against the Environment Agency .
Mathew, who had chronic lung disease as a baby, lives half a mile from Walleys Quarry and his family believe it has made his condition worse. Campaigners want an immediate stop to landfill activities at the site and for the site to be made safe. His report said the levels of hydrogen sulphide from the landfill were high enough to cause airway and lung problems, which poses a particular risk to the elderly and the 1,773 children under the age of five living in the area.
