Netflix’s recent documentary Toxic Town has brought renewed attention to environmental contamination concerns, echoing past events in Corby, Northamptonshire. The BBC recently reported on a similar issue in south London, where a community faced contamination risks linked to historical industrial activity. You can read the full BBC article here.
