Fears Sutton Walls is ‘leaking toxic waste’
Concerns are being raised that the former landfill sites in Herefordshire and Shropshire could be harming the environment.
Sutton Walls near the village of Marden in Herefordshire, and Stoneyhill in Telford were both used by the former chemical company Monsanto - the business is no longer trading.
People living near the sites are calling for more tests to be done to reassure them that it's safe.
They're concerned that toxic waste could be leaching out of the ground as it erodes through time.
Our reporter Nicola Goodwin is at Sutton Walls - one of Herefordshire's most historic sites, meeting campaigners including Paul Cawthorne.
