Sarah Champion, Member of Parliament for Rotherham, has written to the new Government urging them to act to prevent the reopening of Droppingwell Tip.
The Environment Agency issued a permit variation in 2016 that permitted tipping to resume at the site, that had been closed in the mid-1990s following a lengthy campaign by local residents. Planning permission, dating from the 1950s, remains in force. Work continues at the site to bring it back into use as landfill.
