A trust that protects the river describes the fly-tipping as 'utter callousness'.
An instance of fly-tipping along a river popular with kayakers and canoers has been described as "an assault" by a river trust.
On 3 June about 60 bags of rubbish were dumped in the River Waveney from Billingford Bridge, Oakley, Suffolk. Katie Utting, the project officer at the River Waveney Trust, described the act as "utter callousness". There were plans to clean up the river on Friday, but the effort will now take place this coming Friday."Our plans to recover material for proper disposal on Friday were scuppered by trailer problems," explained Ms Utting."It is just one more assault on the health of the river, already under so much stress from agricultural and urban runoff, sewage, abstraction and climate change.
"It time we all started to treat this vital habit and resources with the care it deserves," she said.The River Waveney Trust was formed in 2012 with a view to safeguard the environment and ensure the river remains healthy.For many, tackling the issue of sewage and water will play a role in how they vote at the election.Five takeaways from Cambridgeshire election debate
