Local Conservatives are calling on Tower Hamlets Council to take tough action on rubbish-dumping in Shadwell Basin—after it has started to pose a danger to wildlife in the basin.
Conservative councillor for Wapping, Cllr Emma Jones, reported this to Tower Hamlets Council, who have placed additional signage round the Basin and will be keeping an eye on the situation.
Says Emma: “Two cygnets have been reported lost due to this rubbish. Residents and wildlife alike should not have to put up with this.
“I have reported this issue to the council and they will be checking on waste and rubbish here.”
