Anglers at a fishing competition in Bridgnorth on Sunday were among those left holding their nose, when the smell of "raw sewage" on the River Severn followed heavy rain at the weekend.Severn Trent Water said it is investigating after complaints emerged in both Ironbridge and Bridgnorth over the weekend over a"frothy substance" on the surface of the river and a"terrible smell" emanating from the water.
He said:"We have been getting it for a few years now and for those of us that regularly fish along Bridgnorth we are used to it, but we did get a lot of complaints from some of the visiting anglers on Sunday about the terrible smell. "Whenever there is heavy rain we know that it is going to result in sewage in the river - it happens all the time."
John Fletcher said:"I was walking the dog down by the river at Dale End Park, Ironbridge, on Sunday morning. There seemed to be a lot of white frothy stuff flowing down the river.
