The deputy leader of Cannock Chase Council has called for the agency to take a stronger approach to smells from the Biffa waste plant in Heath Hayes, which residents have complained about since 2011.

Councillor Janos Toth said he would even support the closure of the Poplars landfill and anaerobic digestion site if it were the only means by which to resolve the issue.
