Locals in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester, were shocked today as the River Tame became covered in mysterious foam. Roads and cars were blanketed in white bubbles, carried by the wind.

Resident Sam Pedder, expressed disbelief, saying it’s the worst he's seen in 34 years.

An Environment Agency spokesperson thanked the public for reporting the incident and is investigating the cause, suspected to be pollutants dumped upstream.
