'Monumental' work needed after 'environmental disaster' at popular fishing pool
Telford & Wrekin Council has appointed a specialist contractor to tackle an 'environmental disaster' at a Telford fishing pool.
Telford Angling Association rent Dothill Pool from the council. The association's chair Jon Portman said this week that the pool, which is adjacent to Dothill Primary School, will need "monumental" work if it is to survive as a fishing spot.
"We've had issues for quite a few weeks with weeds choking the pool and starving the fish of oxygen," Jon said.
"There was a big oxygen crash and a lot of fish died," he added.
