#TeamEA have worked to remove a dumped caravan in the #RiverIrk earlier today. Safe to say it definitely won't be fit for visiting Pontins this year. If you see a blockage in your local watercourse please call us on 0800 80 70 60 #FloodAware #LoveYourCaravan

Fancy a 2.5km stroll or cycle around #Salfords newly opened urban #wetland ? You might just be lucky enough to spot herons, lapwings or the great crested grebe!
