A protester who glued his hands together and padlocked himself to the gates of controversial landfill says he is prepared to stay for “as long as it takes” to bring change.
Thousands of complaints have been filed over the stench emanating from Walleys Quarry in Silverdale, near Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, which emits a pungent odour claimed to have sparked anxiety and depression in some locals.
Residents of what has been dubbed the "UK's smelliest village" have likened the stench to "rotting flesh" and "dirty nappies", and claim it hurts the back of their throats.
