Grass clippings in the river

There have been two recent reports of a household dumping their grass clippings in the mill race of Pillhill Brook. These clippings are clogging up the water, rotting and making it difficult for fish and aquatic life to thrive. There have also been lots of crab apples mixed with one lot of clippings.

So please ensure that no garden waste, or waste of any sort, is ever put in the river or any waterways. Please dispose of your waste responsibly. Thanks
