Oil Pollution

No doubt some of you will have read or seen on the local news that the River Soar near to my workplace has been contaminated with heating oil. The 'slicks' are quite visible and obviously couldn't have happened at a worse time of year. There's been at least one dead bird so far, a Moorhen, but plenty more are affected.

Hi Russ, the oil slick goes as far as the weir at Birstall.
I hope someone gets fined for this!
