Difficult to argue against you Neil. At the risk of being called names, I seriously question the adequacy of our water treatment plants to deal with the levels of current throughput compared to their design capacity. Hopefully there are those on this site with knowledge on the subject. In the days when I had a proper job, I needed to understand the problem, and then work back to find the likely cause, before then looking for a remedy. I have read that the amount of effluent treated in the London area suggests a population some 25% higher than the published figures. This maybe a way of excusing the inadequacy of the system or the operators. Equally it may mean the system is overused in which case before more housing, more treatment plants should be built. Does anyone have the figures to hand?That is a hard watch, especially so local to me. Of course it is not a priority to clean up our rivers by successive Governments but absolutely should.
How ironic that the jewel in the crown Shad scheme and viewing window should be here at Diglis.
"Roll up" and take the kids to see a dying river in action.
I suffered a very serious life threatening illness in 2020 after fishing just downstream in Severn Stoke I had life changing surgery. The dropping river that day reeked of sewage, but we my fellow anglers are fooled into supporting this criminal lot buying a lìcence which further enables their actions.
Enough is enough!

Meeting point to be suggested. Anyone interested?Dave, I understood that it was sunday 3 november. Can you clarify?
Sorry, yes Sunday 3rdDave, I understood that it was sunday 3 november. Can you clarify?
All what you say here is true. The under investment by our water companies is criminal, whilst all the time counting the extra £'s from the hundreds of thousands of new build's, water charges. Councils are also burying their heads in the sand.Difficult to argue against you Neil.

Much as I don’t like to admit it; part of the historic under-investment by the water companies was because the government would NOT let them spend the money.All what you say here is true.
