Investigations by public bodies suggest that Deene Quarry, a former steelworks chemical dumping ground, and later home to a raceway, is leaking historic contamination
Superb journalism by NN Journal. Your dogged determination is keeping this at the top of the news agenda - where it must stay until those responsible are brought to account.
Just in case anyone is thinking it doesn't matter much, or that a few toxic chemicals in a small strem don't matter too much, please be aware that all those little streams and ditches eventually drain into the Willow Brook, a tributary of the River Nene.
Willow Brook joins the Nene near Elton - a few miles above the abstraction pumping station at Wansford that keeps Rutland Water topped up with up to 763 million litres of Nene water every day.
The stuff you get out of your tap comes from the Rutland Water, via the River Nene.
It would be good to know whether Anglian Water has the technology to remove that very frightening toxic cocktail of chemicals from our drinking water.
Well done former town councillor Rob Newby for keeping this issue on the Agenda.
it has been raised with NNC for many years, the photos and raising of the problem that have been submitted to the Council , the accidents that have happened along GBR , the emails that have been ignored by the EA, should all be looked at under a public enquiry.
NNJ deserves more praise for keeping this extremely important issue in the public eye. When will the body that should be looking after the town's citizens actually do something positive? No one believes North Northants Council doesn't know a lot more than they are admitting - or that they intend to do anything about it. Look at how public bodies and central government delay real investigations of matters like this - tainted blood, Sellafield, Hillsborogh, the Post Office, for instance. Corby is facing years and years of nothing happening I'm afraid. Public inquiries have become part of the blueprint for official delay.
