Toxic Dump in Makerfield Amid Election
Description
A toxic mountain of 25,000 tons of illegal waste sits at the heart of a brewing political storm in Makerfield, just as a high-stakes by-election looms. Residents battle relentless fumes, dust, and fear — especially after a fire forced schools to shut down last summer. Despite government promises of cleanup and new powers for regulators, the dump remains untouched, sparking outrage and frustration. Meanwhile, police have arrested a suspect in environmental fraud and money laundering, adding another layer to this toxic mess that’s now a central issue in the race for the June 18th vote.
