FIREFIGHTERS were called to a suspected hazmat incident in Regency Square yesterday, Saturday.
Shortly after 11.30am firefighters were called to reports that an unknown substance had leaked from a van.
A spokesperson for Cheshire Police said: "On arrival, crews found a small amount of an unknown green liquid was leaking out of the side door of the vehicle.
"A cordon was put in place as a precaution and firefighters worked to prevent the substance from entering the drains.
"Following enquiries, crews established that the substance was a non-hazardous cable lubricant.
"Roadway crews helped to clean-up the liquid and firefighters were detained at the scene for around 90 minutes."
