Peeps probes the ‘Rainham Volcano’
Our reporter heads to Essex to talk to residents
Friday, 21st March

PEEPS Online is our one million viewed politics channel where we take the Tribune’s challenging spirit beyond our normal borough boundaries.
This week, reporter Daisy Clague (pictured above) headed to Essex and talked to residents living next to the so-called “Rainham Volcano”.
It’s a landfill site which has been burning for 20 years, leaving people in smoke-filled homes and worried about what the toxic clouds are doing to their health. As the fires burn on, there is an unhelpful stalemate between the landowner and the local authorities.
Will it ever be fixed? Watch Daisy’s film on this unusual case and plenty more at www.youtube.co.uk/@peepsonline
