Chelmsford, River Chelmer Pollution
Pollution at the flood sluice gates on the River Chelmer at the confluence with the River Can near the Essex Records Office in Chelmsford (UK).
Probably not helped by the routine high winter water flow here but surely there's no excuse for this not to be cleared by the Environment Agency or Chelmsford City Council?
The local community must take some responsibility for this too. Plastic bottles, footballs and a lifebuoy do not end up in the river by themselves.
If that automatically operated sluice gate is opened then all this shite will end up on Baddow Meads the natural flood plain and conservation area just downstream from here and beyond.
Shocking.
Well spotted by my regular photostream contributor David and the photograph is posted here with kind permission.
