http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-26239457 wrote:Anyone who finds any should contact their council or dispose of it safely, fire officials said. The source of the oil is not known.

Hampshire fire service advice stated: "Wear double vinyl gloves and place in a strong plastic bag over the substance and bag it up, place the outer gloves in with the oil, tie it off, then place into a second strong bag and also tie off.

"This can be disposed of in ordinary refuse."

Dog walkers have been urged to keep their pets on a lead on the foreshore.
