A hazardous waste pile in Oxfordshire, unaddressed for a month, still threatens the environment despite a court-ordered access ban.
A massive, unremoved waste heap near the River Cherwell in Oxfordshire, containing hazardous materials and up to 20 feet high, continues to pose environmental risks despite a month-long investigation by the Environment Agency.
The agency has secured a court order blocking access for six months and says it will only act if no responsible party is found or if an immediate threat arises.
Critics, including MP Calum Miller and local environmental groups, condemn the delay, calling it a failure of oversight and possibly linked to organized crime, with cleanup costs potentially exceeding the local council’s annual budget.
Community members and researchers urge swift action, warning of long-term ecological damage, while a meeting with the minister for nature has been scheduled.
As of November 15, 2025, the site remains untouched.
