By compiling FOI data, government records and public sources, we located over 60,000 landfill and waste sites across Europe. Most were likely created before modern environmental regulations.

Our mapping shows thousands of landfills lie within flood-prone areas, conservation sites, drinking-water zones and along eroding coastlines. In the UK alone, an estimated 80% of the population lives within two kilometres of landfill sites.

I don't love Reeves or Labour, but yes. Tories & Reform got / get a much too easy ride.
