Dedicated health checks, including asthma and blood pressure assessments, are being offered to people living near one of England's worst illegal waste sites.

Residents in Bickershaw - who are living just metres away from 18,000 tonnes of waste - are now being offered health checks at an event on Bolton House Road on Thursday, Wigan Council has said.
