Thames Water discharging raw sewage into Buckinghamshire river

River Chess Association say untreated sewage is causing untold harm to infant trout and other habitats

Thames Water has been discharging untreated sewage into a chalk stream in Buckinghamshire, causing what campaigners say is untold harm to infant trout and habitats in the river.

The discharges into the River Chess in Chesham occurred days after the head of the environment agency told MPs that this should never happen, although he later qualified his remarks to allow for some exceptional circumstances.
