I am very lucky.
I live in a delightful little Market town
At the foot of the pennines.
It has a lovely little stream running
Through it, rarely more than ten foot across.
It is swarming with fish and
Other wildlife and in its
Upper reaches you can
Find otters.
In the summer many of
The local kids play in it.
It runs a hundred yards from my
House and it is a general delight.
The news that Severn Trent chose to discharge 125 tons of raw sewage into this beautiful stream onlu a few miles upstream from the town was a little surprising.
It is so good to know that those
Who know better than us are so aware of our general welfare.
Well done Severn Trent.
