Police have cordoned off an industrial estate in Coatbridge after reports of a SECOND chemical leak in just over a week.

Officers are currently on the scene at the Northburn Industrial Estate in the Cameron Street area where last week four people were treated by paramedics after a separate chemical spill caused an evacuation on Tuesday, November 5.

Police say there are no reported injuries and assured there is “no risk to the wider public”.
