FIRE fighters are tackling a chemical spill that has caused huge traffic delays this morning.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) cannot confirm what kind of chemical the drum contains but has up to five fire engines and four chemical teams tackling the spill at Charlie Brown Roundabout in South Woodford, after being called on scene at 7.30am.
The drum was also letting off fumes.
Police have blocked traffic from entering the roundabout from its north side, from Chigwell Road and Southend Road, though people coming from Gants Hill are able to access it as normal.
Traffic is also heavy on the A406 North Circular Road because of the incident while one of its lanes is closed due to a broken down car in lane one.
