Investigation launched after 'more than 100 fish found dead' in polluted river

An investigation has been launched after dozens of fish were reportedly found dead following a pollution incident at a river. White foam has been pictured on the surface of the River Bollin between Macclesfield and Prestbury.

The Environment Agency is investigating the cause of the pollution.

Local resident Clive Murray told i he counted the number of dead fish he could see on a 3km walk from Macclesfield to Prestbury and 'stopped counting at 100'. He added: "I'm not talking about tiny fish. I’m talking about fish between six inches and ten inches long. They're quite big."
