The recent oil spillage into the Abberd Brook shocked a lot of us in the town. It was described as being ‘criminal’ by Tamzyn Long in one of her initial River Warriors posts. The oil was collected down near Doctor’s Pond by the booms that the contractors for Wessex Water had put out. Why does somebody, possibly in a garage, think they can pour so much oil down a drain somewhere near the brook? And where do they think drain water goes; into our waterways of course! Surely we all know this … or not?

It’s a new year and having just returned from a holiday with a bit of winter warmth and sun (the first in four years), I am straight back into the thick of it with three Council meetings over the next two weeks.
