Busy road forced to shut after 'large quantity' of 'cooking oil' spilt

A main Merseyside road was forced to shut due to suspected cooking oil spilt, with the road remaining shut hours later.

Millers Bridge in Bootle was forced to close after Merseyside Fire and Rescue were called to the busy road at 9.18am on Monday, June 6. Fire crews arrived shortly after 9.20am with firefighters contacting Merseyside Police to assist with traffic management.

A spokesperson for MFRS confirmed that crews close the road due to a large amount of suspected cooking oil being spilt on the busy road in South Sefton. The road was for a number of hours after emergency services attended the spillage, with MFRS handing the closure over to Sefton Council around 11am.
