🌊 Have your say on how Salisbury's rivers are used and valued!

Wessex Water is asking river users in Salisbury to share their views through a short survey to help better understand how local rivers are used and valued by the community.

Whether you're an angler, paddler, swimmer, walker or simply enjoy spending time alongside Salisbury's rivers, your feedback is important!

📢 There's just one week left to take part, and Wessex Water is keen to hear from as many local river users as possible.

The more people who respond, the better the results will reflect how Salisbury's rivers are enjoyed and valued by the community.

A bit of rain yesterday and one of Wessex Waters combined sewer overflows was releasing a mix of rainwater and untreated sewage into the River Stour at Christchurch. This will impact water quality and endanger water users in Christchurch Harbour and the designated Bathing Water at Avon Beach.

A change of river last week, with a bit of canoeing and camping on the River Wye. Like most rivers at the moment it was very low, with clear signs of nutrient enrichment. Still a beautiful place to spend a few days.
