Data from a china clay mining company is to be reviewed by the Environment Agency after a stream near Truro turned milky white.

The stream in Coombe is a contributory to the River Fal and after heavy rainfall on Friday turned from brown to white and opaque overnight.

A spokesperson for the Environment Agency (EA) said they thought the discolouration was "linked to water from the Imerys china clay operations".
