Oil Dump Sparks Clean-Up in Market Harborough

0:00It's March 24th. This is Lester News today, AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Cory with the story. A major cleanup operation is underway in Market Harboro after someone illegally dumped the equivalent of two tanker loads of oil near a housing. A state in Lestershire. Contractors have already removed all that contaminated liquid from a drainage ditch between the A6 and Simbrow Way on the Ashley Way estate. Several resident Adrian Trouton, a 63-year-old who lives nearby, said the smell was nauseating and the oil formed a giant black slick, along a pathway, popular with dog walkers. The environment agency is urging everyone to stay clear of the area until the job is done, and so far they've seen no harm to wildlife while keeping a ferris. Close watch. Someone with details on the dumping should call the agency's 24-7 hotline at 0800-007060 or Crime Stoppers at 0800-555-111 as efforts continue to wrap this up fast.
