It opens to the public on Friday 👍
Is this sewage spewing through a Dunham brook?
Filmed on Saturday, this is Caldwell Brook in Dunham. The reader who sent it told us: “I’ve been jogging around Dunham and Altrincham for 15 years and I’ve never seen anything so polluted. Clearly someone is pumping this sh*t in there and it’s completely unacceptable!”
New MP Connor Rand MP told us in our pre-election interview that cleaning up our waterways was one of his top three priorities - and here appears to be evidence of the urgency of the situation.
Update 6pm: United Utilities have been in touch to say this is not related to anything on their network.
