Chemical spill canal reopens
Birmingham Post
|June 12, 2025
A STRETCH of a Midland canal has reopened to boats almost a year after a devastating chemical spill.
-
Local wildlife was drastically affected when up to 4,000 litres of highly toxic zinc cyanide solution entered the water in Pleck, Walsall.
To contain the pollution, a 12-mile stretch of the canal was initially closed to the public and boaters.
In the months since, more than 500 tonnes of silt has since been removed from the canal and safely disposed of.
