Diesel EVERYWHER....AGAIN!

On the way home last night I rode alongside a diesel slick from Highbury corner all up the Holloway Rd to The Archway Tavern (roughly 2 miles).

This morning a diesel slick all the wayy up Upper St. Islington.

Does anyone report these B*gg*rs?

:rant:

Aaaaaaahhhhhh that's better rant over;)

Yes! Phoned the Fuzz and they said "Ok thanks" :confused: Whatever that means?

I report slicks on roundabouts more than small straight slicks cos I see those as more hazzardous.

Good man! :D But don't the council deal with this?

Who are the correct folks to call for diesel spills?

Good question! I thought it was the police, but the fire brigade is probably the better bet as they carry sand.

Does anyone know who to call? (Apart from GHOSTBUSTERS):D

If I almost bin my bike like I did this morning (serious side step type action on a cow pat), I'll be visiting the farmers house!

Maybe I'd best call the cops before I get there though, as he's likely to have a shotgun :(

Re: Diesel EVERYWHER....AGAIN!

It's the Local Authorities responsiblity - Islington?

If you can e-mail them, this will leave a traceable record - they must take action once they have been notified or face a liability claim. The more LA's are forced to do this, the more they are likely to join the "Kill Spills" campaign, money is always the bottom line.

Try this for reporting. It's the local councils that seem to be reponsible for the clean up.
