The Thames is the worst river in England and Wales according to a poll, despite major efforts to clean it up in recent years.
The Wye, which starts in mid Wales, winds over England’s border and back and runs into the Severn Estuary was voted the public’s favourite.
The survey was conducted by the Our Rivers campaign, which aims to celebrate the nations’ rivers and highlight threats to wildlife.
Check out this report from this morning’s BBC Breakfast… which reveals the awful fact that 39 million tonnes of untreated sewage flows into the River Thames each year… Thames voted worst river in England and Wales
