Pollution spillage in Walsall

Agencies across the West Midland Local Resilience Forum are treating a chemical spillage into the canal in Walsall as a major incident, with a multi-agency response.

As a precautionary measure, the public is being asked to avoid an extended area of the canal and towpaths from the Walsall lock flight to the lock flights at Rushall/Ryders Green and Perry Barr.

Walsall Council is the agency continuing to lead on communicating the latest situation and response to the pollution incident. Please see the latest updates on their website. Walsall Council Newsroom | Walsall Council
