From a good source I understand rumours are circulating that due to a shortage of chemicals to deal with sewage waste, water companies are being given leeway to increase the dumping of raw sewage. If so its a complete disgrace with total disregard for fish, other creatures and the environment as a whole.
Even if untrue I don’t think people realise the regularity filth is put into our waterways and I have complained to my MP more than once. Each time there were mitigating circumstances or conditions that have made it necessary and lawful. Yeah!
Wild swimming is now popular on many rivers but with sewage, dead animals, field run off etc etc I cringe at the thought.
At one time I was only wary of catching wiel’s disease on the river but now use similar precautions as per covid. What a country!
