Brook appears to have been rechannelled (environment agency?)
Water enters drain screen, into a culvert before flowing out into River Brent. The water is reasonably clear in this final visible stretch. Ben and I went to observe the brook where it emerges from an outfall roughly 600m upstream. Here the water was very foul - turbid with surface scum and a bad smell.
The stream smelled bad, borne out by the results. Later we recce'd upstream (behind Dors Close) and found and reported a very bad pollution (TW 00857793).
(Phosphate device maxed at 2.50, so obviously much higher)
