DO we have a phantom dredger working in our midst?
A spokesman for the Environment Agency stated on a local radio station that the Severn, being a self-scouring river, made dredging counter-productive.
British Waterways says £100,000 a year is spent on dredging. But no one has seen a dredger for many years. I can only conclude it has to be a phantom dredger with a phantom crew and, as we know, ghosts have no bodies... so how can they work at the Environment Agency and British Waterways?
This dredger on the river Severn must be a figment of their imagination.
