That the contents of the update report be noted.

The Leader introduced the report on Walleys Quarry.

The Chief Executive presented the report highlighting the zero-level emission recorded in terms of hydrogen sulphides along with the absence of complaints throughout February and March. The Environment Agency was continuing works on site to prevent pollution and would be notifying the public of further development through their website. A political steering group meeting had also taken place and the importance of securing substantive government funding for the full restoration of the site remained a top priority.

The Deputy Leader welcomed the figures and commented that the real question was whether the government would come up with any money and the MP provide any support towards that end.

The Leader seconded the statement adding that the leachate plant would allow for the dirty water to be processed on-site instead of tankered off to other facilities.

Resolved:     That the contents of the update report be noted.
