I’ve reported drums dumped in Brookfield Park, near the swimming baths, which may have led to a blue liquid leaking into the brook.

If anyone comes across something leaking into a watercourse (river, stream, etc.), please let the environment agency know right away.

The Environment Agency has a duty to investigate any potential pollution incident in any watercourse. The EA incident hotline number is 0800 80 70 60.

Thanks to Andrew Taylor for letting me know about the incident.

Update: The pollution in Micker Brook actually came from premises in Hazel Grove and travelled down from there.  The drums  appear to be unrelated to the pollution.
