Walley's Quarry Landfill: Schools
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many schools in Newcastle-under-Lyme closed due to hydrogen sulphide from Walleys Quarry landfill site between 1 January 2021 and 28 November 2024; and how many days they were closed for.
Answered by Josh MacAlister
The department does not hold the information requested.
Where the department is notified of a significant safety issue with a school building that cannot be managed within local resources, we consider additional support on a case-by-case basis. We work closely with these responsible bodies and schools to minimise the impact of closures and ensure continuity of education for pupils.
