Glastonbury festival fined over sewage leak

Judge finds festival had low culpability for incident in 2014 that led to death of 42 fish in Whitelake river and is 'impressed' with its response to incident

Glastonbury festival has been ordered to pay 31,000 after thousands of gallons of human sewage leaked out of a steel container tank, seeped into a stream and killed fish.

The Environment Agency claimed during a hearing that the event had grown more quickly than its ability to deal with so much waste.
