Facebook Q&A
In response to suggestions from the community we launched a Facebook Group in April 2022. The group was set up to provide an additional channel for communicating news and information with the local community. There are currently over 500 members.
In addition to regular Q&A sessions, we share latest news and ‘explainer videos’ covering issues such as reporting odour, how the CCS scoring system works and a look into our air quality mobile monitoring facilities (MMFs).
Any information provided in videos reflects the Environment Agency’s view of the situation at the time the recording was made.

Previous drop-in sessions
Our multi-agency drop in session took place on Thursday 1 December 2021 at the council offices in Newcastle Under Lyme. The event was for residents, business owners and community members who were affected by WQLS.
Attendees were able to speak directly to senior officers from the Environment Agency, Staffordshire County Council, the UK Health Security Agency, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and Staffordshire Police.
We held multi-agency drop ins on the 5 October 2021 and 12 October 2021. All organisations valued the opportunity to have face to face conversations, to be able to hear from the local community, the concerns and experiences you have had and for us to be able to explain what we are continuing to do in dealing with this situation.
Multi-agency virtual engagement sessions
The multi-agency virtual engagement sessions held on 23 June 2021 and 3 August 2021 were with representatives from the Environment Agency, UK Health Security Agency), Staffordshire County Council and Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and the North Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (who represent GPs in the area).
