A NORTH-EAST leisure centre was evacuated today after a container holding 500 litres of bleach was found to be leaking.
Firefighters were called out at 2.20pm to Saltburn Leisure Centre, east Cleveland, to deal with spillage of Sodium Hypochlorite.
Officers from Saltburn, Grangetown and Coulby Newham put down an absorbent material to soak up the liquid.
Once absorbed a specialist company was sent in to remove the bleach.
The building was evacuated for about three hours as a precaution and cordoned off.
No-one was hurt in the incident.
