bassett-boys   10 #2 Posted October 19, 2014 Is it oil Kitten or is it still the kerosine fuel from the fire a while ago that is still seeping into the river? I know they have been working long and hard to clean it all up but unfortunately they probably won't have got it all.  http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/local/fears-for-river-don-after-blaze-1-6738145 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

woodmally   10 #4 Posted October 19, 2014 who keeps polluting the river don near hillsborough and kelham  You need to report it to the Environment Agency on 0800 80 70 60. It's a 24 hour hotline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
rossyrooney   12 #5 Posted October 19, 2014 Has it been reported anywhere what action was taken by the E.A. over the storing of kerosene in unsuitable containers?  I gave a wry smile when I saw the company who were responsible for the contamination had been hired by the E.A. to do the clean up.

Baron99   771 #8 Posted January 16, 2020 One of the grandchildren works down that way. Said there are booms across the river, just up from Lady's Bridge, a tanker wagon on Nursery St, with a pipe running to the river but there's still a large trail of oil running from further up stream & a strong smell of fuel in the area.  It's a shame because there quite a bit of wildlife that's built up down there over the past few years.  Apparently there was a camera crew down there yesterday but there hasn't been anything on the local tv news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Baron99   771 #9 Posted January 17, 2020 Apparently the fuel leak has been traced back to one of the buildings occupied by the Home Office, just up from Lady's Bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
