“by Rachel Flint, Chester Chronicle – THOUSANDS of dead fish have been found floating in a picturesque stream after harmful pollution was allegedly poured down drains.

The surface of a small stream in Caldy Valley Nature Park in Huntington was littered with the bodies of 10,000 fish on Wednesday (March 23), after a suspected chemical attack.

Families and couples enjoying a stroll in the glorious sunshine in the council-owned park were greeted by the gruesome sight of rangers clearing the bodies, which lined the brook near Sainsbury’s supermarket.

Thousands of roach, dace, chubb, gudgeon, lamprey, stone loach and eels were killed in the incident which was reported to Cheshire West and Chester Council at just after 1pm on Wednesday.”  Read more.
