It comes amid concerns that toxic waste could be leaking into the nearby Ironbridge Gorge world heritage site.
Fears have been raised about the toxicity of waste on the Stoneyhill site in Ironbridge – which was previously run by chemical manufacturer Monsanto.
Bill Thomlinson, councillor for Shawbirch & Dothill, raised residents' concerns at a full council meeting on Thursday night. He said: “As is commonplace with closed landfill sites such as this, the council, through a specialist contractor, manages it in accordance with legislation set out by government.
Councillor Thomlinson then asked that independent test reports were put in the public domain to alleviate fears around the site.
