star this property answer text <p>While the Department does not hold comprehensive historic data on the population level of honey bees, the National Bee Unit does hold some county data, including for Staffordshire as a whole, on its BeeBase website. This data relates to honey bees managed by beekeepers and indicates a rise in the honey bee population in Staffordshire, from around 2,300 colonies in 2012 to around 3,200 colonies in 2022.</p><p> </p><p>It is important to note that the overall number of beekeepers registering on BeeBase has risen dramatically over the last 10 years, and this may account for the apparent rise in the honey bee population suggested by the colony numbers.</p><p> </p><p>We do not hold information specific to the population level of wild bees in North Staffordshire over the last 10 years. More generally, Defra’s indicator recording the distribution of pollinating insects in England between 1980 and 2017 shows long term decline for the majority of the 377 species of hoverflies and bees. In the short term, however, around 40% of these species have become less well distributed, and around 40% have become more well distributed. In the short term, more recorded bee species are becoming more widespread in England than are becoming less widespread. We cannot provide information on which species are declining and which are increasing. We are keeping these trends under review.</p>

star this property answer text <p>We provide below the number of unsubstantiated odour reports that have been received about each site regulated by the Environment Agency (EA) for March 2021. The reports have not yet been verified and therefore may not be accurately attributed. The EA seeks to quality-check attributions each month for sites which attract 20 or more reports. This has not yet been done for this data set due to the short timescale involved. To prevent inaccurate attributions, we have anonymised the names of the sites associated with the reports, specifying only the class of activity undertaken. The total number of reports of odour pollution received by the EA in March 2021 was 7516.</p><p> </p><p>The table below provides the full list of the odour reports associated with each of the EA

star this property answer text <p>We committed in the Action Plan for Animal Welfare to seek greater assurance that alternatives to euthanasia are explored before a healthy dog is put down.</p><p>In 2021, we worked closely with the veterinary profession to develop an approach that works for all parties. Following these discussions, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RVCS) agreed to incorporate the principle of microchip scanning before euthanasia into the guidance that underpins their Code of Professional Conduct. This applies to all veterinary surgeons practising in the United Kingdom.</p><p>The Code requires veterinary surgeons to scan for a microchip in dogs prior to euthanasia where, in their professional judgement, it is not necessary to put the dog down on animal health or welfare grounds. Checking the details on the relevant microchip database reveals who the animal's registered keepers are and can also alert the veterinary surgeon to anyone else who may have an interest in the animal. This may include rescue centres which have entered support back-up information on the microchip record. This information can help inform consideration about alternatives to euthanasia. We continue to engage with the RCVS about how these changes are working in practice.</p><p>In addition, we recently held a consultation to seek views on changes to current microchipping legislation which, if adopted, may make it easier and simpler for veterinary surgeons when they apply this RCVS guidance.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Walley’s Quarry has been the source of unacceptable levels of odour for the local community, who have my sympathy. The Environment Agency is using the regulatory framework to drive improvement and continues to make announced and unannounced site inspections. In the five months to the end of September 2022, monitoring data indicates a monthly average hydrogen sulphide concentration close to or below the long-term health-based guidance value.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Walleys Quarry Landfill is a high priority for the Environment Agency (EA). The EA has increased the resource focused on regulation of the site and on partnership working to address local concerns as quickly as possible. The EA continues to receive large volumes of complaints from the community surrounding the site and takes each one very seriously.</p><p>Earlier this month, the EA issued Red Industries with an enforcement notice legally requiring specific actions to be completed by 30 April, including the capping of certain parts of the site. This should reduce odours to a level where they do not cause an offence (against permit definition).</p><p>The EA is also working alongside its partners to ensure air quality monitoring covers their health remits. The EA has agreed two further locations, in addition to those that went live in early March, to site air quality monitoring equipment. The additional units will be in place as soon as possible. The EA is sharing this data with partners, including Public Health England, on a regular basis and has supported a Staffordshire County Council led multi-agency statement on health advice.</p><p>The EA is receiving complaint reports from a number of different avenues including via email and phone. These are being updated to the system at regular intervals so these figures may be subject to change.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Date</p></td><td><p>Number of complaints</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>27/02/2021</p></td><td><p>878</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>28/02/2021</p></td><td><p>467</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>01/03/2021</p></td><td><p>180</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>02/03/2021</p></td><td><p>93</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>03/03/2021</p></td><td><p>82</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>04/03/2021</p></td><td><p>60</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>05/03/2021</p></td><td><p>156</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>06/03/2021</p></td><td><p>666</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>07/03/2021</p></td><td><p>395</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>08/03/2021</p></td><td><p>574</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>09/03/2021</p></td><td><p>405</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>10/03/2021</p></td><td><p>159</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>11/03/2021</p></td><td><p>93</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>12/03/2021</p></td><td><p>143</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>13/03/2021</p></td><td><p>67</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>14/03/2021</p></td><td><p>141</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>15/03/2021</p></td><td><p>266</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16/03/2021</p></td><td><p>164</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>17/03/2021</p></td><td><p>351</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>18/03/2021</p></td><td><p>229</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>19/03/2021</p></td><td><p>144</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>20/03/2021</p></td><td><p>206</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>21/03/2021</p></td><td><p>133</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>22/03/2021</p></td><td><p>248</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>23/03/2021</p></td><td><p>222</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>24/03/2021</p></td><td><p>196</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>25/03/2021</p></td><td><p>137</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>26/03/2021</p></td><td><p>94</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>27/03/2021</p></td><td><p>106</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>28/03/2021</p></td><td><p>42</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>29/03/2021</p></td><td><p>64</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>30/03/2021</p></td><td><p>296</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2021</p></td><td><p>235</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>01/04/2021</p></td><td><p>56</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>02/04/2021</p></td><td><p>53</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>03/04/2021</p></td><td><p>149</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>04/04/2021</p></td><td><p>286</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>05/04/2021</p></td><td><p>129</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>06/04/2021</p></td><td><p>150</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>07/04/2021</p></td><td><p>182</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>08/04/2021</p></td><td><p>87</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>09/04/2021</p></td><td><p>159</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>10/04/2021</p></td><td><p>408</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>11/04/2021</p></td><td><p>244</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>12/04/2021</p></td><td><p>237</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>13/04/2021</p></td><td><p>450</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>14/04/2021</p></td><td><p>148</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>10,430</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
