Chemical spill at Gloucestershire electronics firm

There has been a chemical spill at an electronics company in Gloucestershire.

The fire service was called to Ashchurch Business Centre in Tewkesbury at about 2100 BST on Monday.

A spokesman from Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service said the chemical was used for copper etching on printed boards.

No one was hurt and there was no risk to people living nearby, he added. The Environment Agency advised the company on how to dispose of the chemical.
