This is a picture from last Sunday – sewage leaking into the river from an old pipe. This was reported to SEPA last year as well.
This kind of shit makes our rivers stink and drives people away – it is pretty bad for the fish and insect life as well.
Serious action must be taken – if SEPA will do nothing I may just hit that pipe with some cement and a tree trunk – who is with me boys?
You can see more tenuous fishing photos here
thick plastic sheeting and plenty of gaffer tape is much quicker in my experience……… 😎
I hope that no one takes up your cement suggestion. At present the trickle of pollution is being diluted somewhat by the body of water in the Kelvin. When the blockage is eventually found and breached, the resulting sudden deluge of the build-up of sewage would likely kill everything in the river, downstream from that point.
Ian – why so serious?
The tongues are firmly in the cheeks…
