How dangerous does Corby's toxic legacy continue to be?

When a landmark High Court case ruled negligence had caused birth defects in 18 children, we thought we knew the full horror of Corby’s toxic fallout.

But now over 100 people have come forward, believing they are also affected by the scandal.

In 2009, Corby Borough Council was found to have negligently moved toxic waste from the Northamptonshire town’s main former steelworks.

However, over the course of a 15-month ITV News investigation, 105 people affected by birth defects who were not involved in the original case have shared their concerns about the impact the waste has had on their health.
