Fladbury Weed problem
Today (Wednesday 21/5/2025) three of us boarded Martin Cox’s boat to tackle the weed. Roger, Dave & Frank found that we could not drag the rake so selected visual weed to remove. We spent a lot of time removing overhanging branches & removing downstream reeds from overgrown pegs.
The Society want to thank Martin & Roger who spent the day travelling to & from Fladbury, to tackle the weed, thanks Guys.
This was a couple of days before the bank clearing session planned for the 24th of May. We have cleared the top of the pegs for vehicle access, tackled the weed, the overhanging branches & downstream Reeds, that leaves clearing the steps of pegs 1 to 26, see you Saturday.
WQMN Water Quality sampling at Jubilee Bridge
GirlingAS & the Local Action Group get a mention in the Angling Trust (AT) second Annual Report page 16, See the Angling Trust Website.
We have completed nearly 3 years of monthly sampling & supplying data to the AT. There is wealth of evidence & Water Companies admit their continual abuse of the regulations meanwhile, managers get huge bonuses & shareholders are satisfied. It’s time for criminal prosecutions before natural fisheries reach the point of no return.
