Doubt it

I'm sure that I remember reading that with a spill that could cause injury the police have to block it off till is is cleaned up.

When I last reported diesel to my local Council they took three weeks to respond and then said they'd had a look and couldn't see anything .

Could someone from the police in here please clear this up?

The confusion - not the spill

Should we report it to the police in future? or the new phone number 101 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/h...re/4770079.stm

If you think it's a danger to other road users, yes

You could do, but all that will do is screen the call and forward it to the highways authority. Better that you cut out the middle man and talk to the Council directly. It will be quicker that way and you can speak to someone who knows the area/road in question rather than a remote call-centre person in another part of the County. The highways authority is the County Council, not the District Council.

We've had no end of bother with the 101 Service; stuff that we would normally respond to as an emergency isn't being passed to use for 2 or 3 working days

And a perfect example of why you should straighline roundabouts if possible. ie without inconveniencing other motorists. (And you're not going left... )

From the look of the spill it could quite easily catch someone out of they were turning right and approached from the right of the photo and it would be quite difficult to avoid.

I'm not saying it's failsafe, just playing the percentages.
