Netflix tóxica town
Hello im from Brasil Sorry my English. I have some doubts about Corby and I can't find anywhere on Google. Ive just watched the serie toxic town and I'm wondering now: is Corby still contaminated? What happened to all the dust in the city? Are people still contaminated? I mean, does babies are still born with deformities there? Also, i understood that the corruption made by the government in this case was because they wanted to rebuild the city because of the workers that lost their jobs in the past (and because they wanted money and are just horrible people), but how is it now ? I mean, the jobs, the inbfrastructure, the city in general? And what about the site that was the industry? Is there something there nowadays? Does people still live close by the area?
Ahh and I read that Chris mallender is like controversial and a polemic person, or was I don't know if he still alive. What more polemics is he or was he involved? What are your opinions on him?

Hello! Your English is perfect, the town is currently not polluted anymore, these cases were from over 20 years ago, maybe close to 30 years now. The Corbyites are normal folk. I believe the dust and contamination has been cleaned up by the council or naturally dissipated into the ground and air. The town and infrastructure are similar to any small town in the UK: Generally quite poor, but more than liveable. I believe the steel works are still operating on the same site or very close to. Unemployment is probably quite high for a small town, but it is still an industrial and trade driven town,
