A few years ago - nobody would have been surprised by such a Headline - but given the improvement in the fishing and wildlife on this once filthy river it is with great sadness that this has happened over this last week.
Our Chairman, Mike Duddy, has published the details todate, via this link: 25+ Mile Pollution Disaster River Irwell which gives a map of the affected area and the help that EA have provided so far.
If anyone knows of the areas or causes where the source of the pollution is indicated - could they please let us know.
Many of us in SFAS and MBRT are in shock as to the implications of such an incident and the longer term effects that there are likely to be.
Slaphead - do you know of owt about the source area?
TBO - do you know of any monitoring programs that we can contact down the lower river/MSC/Mersey confluence?
