Orange water runs through Willow Farm on Billet Road and near a special needs school on Hainault Road. (Ilford Recorder)
The environment Agency is investigating the water course although the likely reason for this is the contaminated landfill which was an unlicensed tip in the 1970's.
"In November 2019 the owner, Sunshine Island Properties Ltd, an entity registered in the British Virgin Islands, built fences around the land and dug a large hole in one corner.
It followed a hearing at Romford County Court in which Sunshine re-asserted its claim to the site over a group of local businessmen.
When approached by the Recorder the company did not comment.
Redbridge Council said the works carried out were “routine ground works” and investigations would be carried out at the same time."
