Every week, I share something I learned in the previous seven days. I usually find these while I'm putting my weekly newsletter together but somehow, they don't quite fit!
This week I learned that there is a 'volcano' constantly erupting in East London. It seems that no-one is able to stop it.
The Rainham volcano: a waste dump is constantly on fire in east London. Why will no one stop it?
Under Arnolds Field, tonnes of illegally dumped waste have been burning for years, spewing pollution over the area. Locals fear for their health – and despair that no one seems willing to help
