....and to think that the risk of it being caused by BA dredging could have been completely avoided by the simple expedient of letting the only access to Hickling and Horsey silt up completely.
Then it would have just left the risk of it occurring naturally anyway, as it has done there before.
...which is still possibly the real cause on this occasion, until the facts are known, rather than the usual press hype in that link.
You know it's not that simple, so don't pretend otherwise. You are either being belligerent or injudicious, it’s far more complex than that, so wise up, do some research, then make some sensible comments. There’s a good chap.

This is seriously bad news for both anglers and the tourist industry and even worse news for the fish and our environment.

Radio Norfolk has been buzzing this week with many sightings of a Puma, could this be the first photographic evidence?

Whist some might not see as a serious broads related issue it probably is and could potentially have a very serious affect on the broads.

Hardly the same thing wayneakp, that picture purely shows some street art decorating hoarding around a construction site. It would be nice if Station Rd Hoveton and parts of Potter Heigham looked remotely like that, but sadly they don't, they resemble something that looks like the Luftwaffe have visited.

Sorry, I thought you were meaning the river Wensum not the wensum valley as a whole.
I agree people leave rubbish everywhere and when it gets to the river it is hard to get out.
I suppose when the rubbish reaches the beaches it is easy to do a litter pick but getting people in boats is
way harder.
You dont get this on the northern broads
No you certainly get lot less on the northern broads and rivers, but you still get a little, my feelings with the Wensum and the Yare are that Norwich is primarily the beginning of the problem as you obviously get people throwing rubbish in, but you also have at least two storm drains, that when we have any amount of rain just pump raw sewerage straight into the river. Yes it's just shocking as only a few miles down river kids are paddling and sometimes swimming or at least splashing about a bit during the summertime, yes it doesn't bear thinking about, does it?

Good photo, are there any more or is it just the one?
I think the reason the rubbish has accumulated there is the same reason the mud has done the same.
I think we have had a high tide since then so all is well!
Not trying to be flippant but this is the centre of Norwich, I dont think the rest of the river network is like this.
best of luck.
If you think that is the case C.Ricko then I suggest you follow the river Yare on foot from Whitlingham to say Surlingham as best you can, you will witness the most disgusting mess you have ever laid yours eyes upon this includes multiple syringes, colostomy bags, millions of cotton buds and every bit if human detritus you can think of, and this is only what has floated, the river is no better than an open sewer.

Somebody has asked a question? My answer would probably be a bit of both.

The condition of the river Wensum has been brought to the attention of the press this week and it just so sad to see this happening isn't it?
Seriously Bad News.
