Parents are being warned not to let their children play in Mill Beck in Windermere.

Following regular testing undertaken by Windermere Town Council, results have once again demonstrated sewage contamination entering the small beck that runs through Windermere village.

For more than a decade, the Environment Agency has known about this sewage pollution. It has even narrowed the source down to a small number of locations along the beck, yet they have still failed to bring the problem to an end. The pollution has been attributed to misconnections, but no action has been taken to ensure the issue is resolved.

United Utilities states on its website that, once an issue like this is reported, its operational teams will investigate the problem, write to local residents explaining how they will resolve the pollution and protect the local environment, and trace the source back to the property where the wastewater pipes are misconnected using techniques such as dye tracing and closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveys. If a misconnection is identified, the company says it will provide advice on the corrective work needed to fix the issue.

So why haven’t the Environment Agency and United Utilities carried out this work and brought an end to a problem they have known about for more than ten years?

Yes, it is ultimately the responsibility of the property owner to rectify a misconnection. But it is the responsibility of the Environment Agency to regulate pollution and of United Utilities to investigate and help identify the source.

Neither should be acting as though this pollution is not happening in a river that is home to rare and protected species.

This has been a known source of sewage pollution for more than a decade. There is no justification for allowing it to continue unresolved.

Here's a Wimbledon fact you probably didn't know... 🎾

Many of the tournament's used tennis balls are given a second life as miniature shelters for harvest mice through conservation projects across the UK. 🐭💚
