River anger
10:29am Thursday 14th June 2012 in Your Letters
I’VE had to reach for my pen again concerning the health of the River Mersey in this area of Sale and Ashton-on-Mersey.
When you consider we have been using the Moon as a bus stop and have sent probes to Mars, I feel it’s a shame that the River Mersey is in a state of chronic decline.
I feel that after a lifetime of fishing most rivers in England I am entitled to my opinion.
Forget my selfish motives being an angler, but I feel healthy rivers flowing through our country is not unlike healthy blood flowing through our veins.
I fish the river on a regular basis and every time I sit on the bank I know and I feel I am looking at a sick patient.
What a shame.
K G Bearney, Sale
