Councillor Alex Wagner launches petition for residents to sign over state of rivers in Shropshire
Councillor Wagner said: “The loop of the river defines Shrewsbury as a town. We should be able to take pride in the fact we have such great heritage and communities right here on the banks of the Severn. "For residents of the Town Centre, Coton Hill and Coleham in particular, this is a very real and increasingly disgusting issue to have to deal with.
A Severn Trent spokesman said: “We are absolutely committed to improving the health of our region’s rivers and we are working closely with communities across Shropshire to make progress, including through the creation of a bathing quality river in Ludlow.
