In Corby last week, several children with congenital defects successfully sued their local council for negligence. Their mothers were exposed to "an atmospheric soup of toxic materials" that had poisoned the Northamptonshire town when the local steel works were demolished.The judge, Mr Justice Akenhead, criticised the council for a "dig and dump" approach to disposing of the waste from the former British Steel plant.
In Bath it will be necessary to disturb the 1968 landfill at the Newbridge park and ride, to construct the special foundations required to manage the water issue.

what is in this land fill site at Newbridge Park and ride?
