They won their fight for justice and now a group of mothers who took on Corby Borough Council in the 2000s are hoping a big budget Netflix drama will raise the dangerous issue of toxic waste once more
I remember the council being investigated by Roger Cook for TV investigative television programme which was another big scandal.
Then there was the reclamation scandal. There seems to be no limits to how far Corby borough council would stoop.... I wonder what scandal will be next!
With the TV drama shedding light on the attempts by the council to cover up the truth, it is truly shocking to see the extent of the impact on our community. The health implications of these toxins, especially on our children, are deeply concerning.
The high levels of cancer cases among babies, children, and young adults in Corby are alarming and point to the long-lasting effects of exposure to harmful substances. It is crucial for us to be aware of these issues and to demand accountability from those responsible. As a community, we need to come together to address this issue and ensure the well-being of our residents. It is time to stand up and take action for a healthier and safer environment for all.
Another scandal is the inaction of Northants County Council and then West Northants Council regarding air pollution. They declared seven Air Quality Management Areas between 2003 and 2009 because the air pollution was above legal limits. They were legally required to publish an action plan for each withing 18 months of declaration, but they did nothing. During the last two decades of inaction over 2,000 people have died in Northampton from air pollution. When will those responsible be brought to justice? How would we get action taken?

A Jimmy Saville type scandal?
1. Erin Brockovich, 2. Sally Pacholok The Movie & 3. Toxic Town.
I noticed a comment written on Corby Chats back about the increased risk with Gynaecology cancer for those who attended CBS

Another injustice inflicted on innocent people by a heartless and uncaring government machine.
Best wishes for your investigation.
Hopefully the new political leadership in the county will ensure to stones are left unturned this time.
Unlikely do not hold your breath!
