Ms Crockford, who lives in west Suffolk, said: "Water in our rivers should be safe to drink from and swim in and it's not. We're the dirty man of Europe. It's very sad." "Should've been divine on this gorgeous summer evening, snorkelling 500m up from Braseley Bridge to Byron's Pool. But shockingly, visibility almost nil," she wrote.An Anglian Water spokesperson blamed the river's colour on algae and could "confidently say this is not due to a sewage discharge".
