Substantial oil leak from car

Reported via mobile in the Road Sweeping category anonymously at 01:44, Thursday 4 June 2026

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9558088.

Quite bad environmental damage issue being caused by a resident of Lowther Square.

The car is leaking oil badly and has been doing so for about 2 months.

This is a danger to children and animals and the environment. Oil trails are thick and clear and cover large areas in a lot of the residents parking spaces.

Everytime the vehicle is moved, a big wet pool of oil is there. Now long trails of oil are clearly visible all along Langdale Drive towards the traffic lights. There’s a lot of oil at the lights too.

There is clearly a road traffic problem too, given that it trails along the road daily and when it rains it could cause a slippery road surface and a collision.

This isn’t just a bit of a leak, this is oil pouring out onto the road and onto the nearby path and pavement and it’s awful.

This needs addressing quickly with the resident and the mess cleaned up.
