Cunsey Beck Fish Kill: A Letter to the Chief Executive of the Environment Agency
Save Windermere is demanding a re-opening of the Cunsey Beck fish kill investigation in light of evidence obtained through Environmental Information Regulation (EIR) requests which highlighted the inadequacies of the investigation.
On 21st June 2022, a Category 1 mass fish kill occurred on Cunsey Beck, a 2-mile tributary connecting Esthwaite Water to the western shore of Windermere, killing thousands of fish, including rare and protected species.
Save Windermere calls for the investigation to be reopened with urgency and by Monday 18th December at the latest, considering the new evidence and the revelations exposed in the recent BBC Panorama documentary.
