LETTER: Enough is enough – stop polluting the River Weaver!

Dear Editor,
I am absolutely furious and heartbroken to hear of yet another pollution incident on the River Weaver in Nantwich, which has once again left thousands of fish dead or dying.

This is the fifth such disaster in just three years, and it is nothing short of a disgrace.

First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Environment Agency and its staff who responded swiftly, deploying chemical aeration to try and save what fish and water life they could.

Their dedication deserves recognition – but it should not continually fall upon them to pick up the pieces of such reckless and repeated pollution.

My anger is directed squarely at whoever is responsible for this latest slurry dump.

Their selfishness and disregard for our environment have destroyed countless fish, damaged the natural balance of the river, and robbed local anglers and residents of a cherished community asset.

It is an attack on our environment and on the people who care for it.

It is long overdue that the perpetrator is caught, named, and fined heavily for their actions.

Slurry pollution starves the river of oxygen and wipes out years of natural growth in hours.

If those responsible think they can keep getting away with this, they must be proven wrong. Enough warnings – the law must act decisively.

The River Weaver is a vital part of Nantwich’s heritage and natural life.

I, and many others, demand justice for this repeated environmental crime.

The community deserves answers, accountability, and above all, an end to this destructive cycle.

Regards

Jonathan White
