The Environment Agency have made us aware of vandalism to a pipe under Tinsley Forge Bridge off of Wharf Road which took place over the weekend. This has resulted in some mineral oil leaking into the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal.

The EA are currently investigating this and any further updates will be posted on this notice.
