Toxic for 100 years: the UK golf course built on chemical waste dump

One morning in Sandbach, a neighbour appeared at Graham Warner’s door with a large folder: a delivery, she said, from an unidentified source.

“I think you’ll find this very interesting. Happy reading,” she said.

Warner was checking into a planned housing development behind his home. But the folder contained astonishing material not about the development but about the golf course next door to it.
