Firefighting foam barrels removed from former Oxfordshire fuel depot

Firefighting foam barrels removed from former Oxfordshire fuel depot

About 40 barrels of firefighting foam were found at a former fuel depot in Oxfordshire.

The foam may contain PFAS, chemicals that can persist in the environment.

The developer says it removed the barrels and is investigating possible contamination.

The issue matters because the site has permission for new homes, including affordable housing.
