More than 4,000 litres of diesel caused an environmental disaster for the River Wandle
A diesel spill of over 4,000 liters from a storage container at an Arriva bus garage in Croydon caused an ecological disaster in the River Wandle. Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh demanded accountability, confirming she had contacted the Environment Agency to investigate. The spill impacted local wildlife, with birds coated in oil, and the long-term environmental effects remain unclear. McDonagh emphasized the need to limit damage and later hold those responsible accountable. A multi-agency response team used absorbent materials to clean up the spill, and McDonagh urged residents to avoid the river.
