A water company has been fined £1.2 million for allowing pollution which killed wildlife. According to the Environment Agency, one incident caused dead animals to be seen over a 1.5km area.

A string of maintenance failures in Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire cost the company £871,000 after the counties’ freshwaters were polluted.

‘The Environment Agency will pursue any water company that fails to uphold the law or protect nature, and will continue to press for the strongest possible penalties for those which do not.’ Anglian Water were found to have failed to implement a new cleaning method after removing a screen to prevent blockages four years ago.
