Thousands of Fish dead

a cocktail of pesticide and herbicides have made a unknown toxic soup
The pollution is expected to be washed down the Colne as rain drains from surrounding fields, in to the Calder and lower river Aire.
Anything below the Chemical works is in severe danger of been wiped out.
Anglers have reported nothing left as the pollution enters the river with all fish killed instantly.
Please if you live near the rivers stated keep watch for injured or dying fish and river birds, warn Kayaks to stay out of the water and report any findings on here and to the deaf eared environmental agency.
This weekend watch due to heavy rain
River Colne from Slaithwaite
River Calder from Cooper Bridge to Castleford
