It’s not been Interserve’s week. Having announced a £160m black hole associated with exiting the energy from waste market, Interserve Construction Ltd (ICL) has been fined £54,000 with £5,955 costs after admitting a single incident of discharging silt-laden water into a tributary of the River Rother in Burwash, East Sussex, on 1 October 2014.
