The record June temperatures have been driving an exceptional number of fish deaths. Here’s the @EnvAgency’s provisional map of the major incidents. I’ve been at the #knowlelocks complex in Solihull for @BBCBreakfast.

Very good training session with Cheshire Police yesterday. Supported AT colleagues as together with the EA, we provided an awareness course around fisheries and environmental crime. All well received and lots of positive feedback 😀 🎣
More patrols by our VBS and the EA, this time with Warwickshire Police across the whole county last weekend. A few offenders reported but overall good compliance with the coarse fishing close season.
Really good to see our Voluntary Bailiff Service (VBS) out with the EA, police and Walsall Council staff patrolling local iark lakes and other fisheries on Saturday. Great partnership work!
We are preparing for a week of action to tackle wildlife and rural crime in the community.
It begins on Monday (6 Dec) and will see officers focus on anticipated seasonal crime trends which may affect rural communities.
