Eco Chamber

Has the EA finally stopped the stink at Walleys Quarry?

Listen on

Episode notes

Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, and take a forensic look at one of the deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

This week, ENDS journalists look at:

• The environmental grant payments suspended by the environment secretary Steve Reed and his plans to set the sector on a new path.

• For the news-in-brief: DEFRA may have broken the law when it comes to giving Cruiser SB the greenlight for farmers; rivers close to sugar beet farms contain the highest levels of neonic pesticides and the failed global treaty to scrap plastics.

For this week’s deep-dive the team discusses the implications of the Environment Agency's decision to issue a closure notice on the notorious Walleys Quarry.
