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 :(

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.
