Bradshaw Brook – the jewel in the Irwell crown has been polluted.
Local walkers found 100s of dead trout in the river last weekend and called the EA.
The worrying thing is that this stretch of river is directly beneath Jumbles Reservoir – a drinking water rezzer managed by United Utilities !!!
(update 11.12.2013 – its the stretch between Wayoh and Jumbles thats been affected, NOT the section downstream of Jumbles).
Take a look at this article in the Manchester Evening News
Bradshaw Brook Pollution
UU say in the article that they have now stopped finding dead fish in Bradshaw Brook – thats because it looks as though they’ve already killed them all.
