The weed and contaminated soil will be removed without using harmful chemicals, according to Lewes and Eastbourne Councils.

A clean-up operation is under way after a "devastating" night of unrest in Liverpool.Approximately 300 people were involved in riots on County Road, Walton, Merseyside Police said.

The group gathered at about 20:00 BST and "from the start were intent on committing serious violence and disorder", the force said.A library set on fire, with rioters trying to prevent firefighters from putting it out, shops were broken into and a number of wheelie bins were set on fire.Tensions have been high after the killing of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in Southport, Merseyside, on Monday.

The Spellow Lane Library Hub, which was opened last year to serve deprived communities, has suffered severe damage to its ground floor.When firefighters arrived a missile was thrown at the fire engine, breaking the rear window of the cab, police said.

A convenience store, where the till had been stolen earlier in the day, was also torched.

Other shops were broken into and a number of wheelie bins and industrial bins were set on fire.Last year, it adds, the England and Wales water sector invested £9.2bn, which it says is the highest capital investment ever in a single year.

And it’s important to note that not all water companies are the same.A few are well run, have manageable debts and have invested steadily in their infrastructure over the three decades since privatisation, while delivering dividends to the shareholders who have provided the capital required by a privatised model.

Regardless, lenders are now demanding higher rates from other water companies, too, as the whole sector appears a riskier bet.The regulator Ofwat allowed this increase in debt to happen as for many years it did not consider that it had the requisite powers to dictate how companies chose to structure their finances.
