    The Water Pollution Cover-Up

    Well done Tony for posting, it’s not news to me as you know, the UU have been telling lies all along. The EA are no better. Another failed group of people who don’t care. You witnessed the latest pollution last week.

    Fresh brewed coffee on the bank

    I have used a jetboiler for many years, having purchased mine in Oregon before they were available in the UK, I can't fault it.

    Ministers propose scrapping pollution rules to build more homes

    I am often writing to my MP, about the state of my local rivers and side streams, also stating the EA isn’t fit for the purpose of looking after our waterways. I also send pics of pollution etc. I always get a reply also he will send me copy of letters he sends to the EA and their reply, which...

    JW Young River Specialist centrepin

    I was presented with the new Atom for my 80th birthday, I have never had a problem, I use it mainly for carp fishing, where I have to hit and hold the fish, using lots of pressure I use the reel with 12lb line also a cane rod.

    Water Company Dividends up £540m from last year...

    River Lugg destruction court decision.

    A great new great result, the sentence should have been at least 10 years, and confiscation of all his funds. Perhaps other will think before destroying the countryside and its wildlife from water to land for personal gain. Now lets hit the water company bosses and shareholders.

    River Chess raw sewer dumping

    'It’s typical of the EA, they are not fit for purpose. They should be scrapped with a new organisation being put in place with one job. Improve the land based and aquatic environment which includes fisheries and not in any ones pocket.
