What is contaminated land?
Warrington has a history of industrial activity including coal mining, heavy engineering, foundries and landfill sites. This has meant that substances such as oils, metals and organic compounds have often remained in the ground.
We have a duty to inspect the borough to identify any contaminated land and arrange for it to be cleaned up.
