It is also the time of year when the Environment Agency urges people to check their oil tanks to protect the environment and reduce the risk of potentially large financial losses.
Leaked oil can end up in drains, many of which lead directly to rivers, streams, lakes and even garden ponds, having the same effect as pouring it directly into the watercourse.
Oil is poisonous to fish and other wildlife and smothers plants and just 2 litres of oil could seriously pollute the volume of fresh water needed to fill an olympic-size swimming pool.
This November, Exeter is in for a blast of high-energy comedy as Ensuite kicks off its UK tour at the Bike Shed Theatre. Ensuite is Hugh McCann’s debut show which he has both written and performs, with direction from New Model Theatre’s Tom Nicholas.
