Residents near the railway bridge underpass have reported health concerns due to an orange substance leaking from weep holes, raising alarms about contamination. Despite assurances from Network Rail that the substance contains coliform bacteria and E.coli, officials maintain it poses no significant risk. Local councillors express frustration over the neglect and poor maintenance that have created unsafe conditions for residents. Urging all parties to take responsibility, the emphasis is on the need for regular cleaning and improved drainage to address health hazards and restore safety for the community.
"It is shocking to me that years of neglect and a failure to take responsibility by multiple organisations have transformed a simple case of disrepair into a health hazard for residents."
"Network Rail said this was a 'very common bacteria' that was 'widely distributed', thus downplaying the concerns raised by locals regarding the orange substance leaking from the bridge."
