Hundreds of sewage spills every year, abandoned trollies, brollies and plastic bottles - what hope does the the River Wensum have when it is used as a giant dumping ground?

In this edition we investigate the state of the river and look at what is being done to save it - from floating islands to enthusiastic scouts.

And in our first exclusive we also reveal that Anglian Water is discharging untreated sewage into the region's waterways without environmental permits. 😞

How dirty is the Wensum?
