Whilst watching my regional TV news show tonight, I was interested in an article they were showing concerning improving the flow of the river Dour situated in Dover.
A representative of the Environment Agency was at hand to answer the reporters questions.

I could not belieeeeeeve it.
A perfect example of Health and Safety gone bonkers.
