The boss of Chester Zoo has slammed a water company after raw sewage was discovered in a local river.
Jamie Christon, the zoo's Chief Executive Officer, sent an open letter to Welsh Water imploring it to tackle the issue of untreated sewage being released into the River Dee, describing the situation as “totally unacceptable.”
Writing to the water firm's chief executive, Pete Perry, Mr Christon, shared details of a number of important species and habitats in the river, including an invertebrate called the Scarce Yellow Stonefly, which is facing extinction.
