Cobh Edition were contacted on Saturday by a concerned resident of Rushbrook Manor in Cobh with regard to what appears to be an Oil-Dump at the estate just behind the back wall of the new Martello Estate.
Cllr Cathal Rasmussen was immediately informed and local council workers attended the site early on Sunday morning, however, the sheer scale of the mess didn’t allow a clean-up to take place. Cobh Gardai also attended.
Residents of the area have no idea how this happened or who is responsible and are concerned that it may not be just oil they are dealing with, but the possibility of other chemicals too.
Residents are being urged to stay clear of it and keep their children safe from the danger and the area has been temporarily fenced off. Cllr Rasmussen has put the wheels in motion for a clean up to take place as a matter of urgency and the issue has now been referred to the CCC Enviornmental department.
