At 09.30 this morning, the Ranger's Office was advised of a diesel spillage in the Beverley Brook. The matter has been reported to the Environment Agency and they are looking into where the spillage originates. The spillage has not originated on the Commons.
The smell of diesel is quite obvious and the water should be avoided. Dog-walkers are advised not to let their dogs into the Brook.
The Brook runs through Wimbledon Common along the Playing Fields, and then through Richmond Park, before eventually coming back onto the Common at Putney Lower Common.
