Shameful photographs reveal the staggering number of dumped shopping trollies recovered from a stretch of the River Irwell during a community litter pick.
More than a dozen supermarket trollies were hauled out from the Irwell's waters along a section of the river running through Radcliffe, near Bury - with fears many more could be buried in the silt beneath.
One environmental expert claims the sheer volume of trollies present in the water is likely to be raising the level of the riverbed, which in turn could lead to a heightened flood risk.
