THE Canal & River Trust have stated that at least three people have slipped and fallen into the Regents Canal yesterday.
Oil spreading along the towpath at Kingsland Road (Bridge 45) in Haggerston on the Regents Canal has caused at least three people to slip and fall into the water, though there is no notice of fatalities, Keith Gudgin tells us.
Towpath closed
The towpath is closed whilst the Trust's workers find out the cause of the oil and clean it up.
Though it is not yet established, it is thought that vandals are responsible.
