Over 30 families have come together for the first time to demand answers about their children’s birth defects, which they believe were linked to toxic waste from the closure of Corby’s former steelworks.
The scandal was the subject of the Netflix series Toxic Town, and since it aired earlier this year, ITV News has been told 40 more families have come forward to the solicitor representing the original families.
They include more than 10 whose children died as a result of the defects.
Those impacted have called for North Northamptonshire Council to provide more details on where the toxic waste was dumped, as calls for a public inquiry grow amid fears the waste is still causing impacts to this day.
