FISHERMEN are still unable to gather shellfish in Poole Harbour due to Wessex Water’s storm overflows degrading the water quality with spilled sewage. The water quality has been downgraded from category B to category C – meaning shellfish gathering has been temporarily suspended since July 20. Initial resampling of shellfish from all shellfish sampling sites in Poole Harbour was carried out Wednesday, July 21 - the results received on Monday, July 26 were marked as satisfactory. A further satisfactory sample must be obtained for each of the three areas which were closed by means of the Temporary Closure Notice - Wareham Channel, Rockley and Poole Harbour North (excluding oysters at West Brownsea) - before fishing of these three areas for bivalve shellfish can resume.
A PARTNERSHIP with Wessex Water has helped Wiltshire Community Foundation award £9,000 to grass roots groups for projects aimed at improving the environment in their communities. The Wessex Water Environment Fund was launched with the community foundation by The Wessex Water Foundation, a multi-million-pound initiative, launched in June 2020, which provides a dedicated funding stream for projects across the region. Among the recipients was the Wessex Multiple Sclerosis Centre, which received £1,300 to make its garden more sustainable for members, who come from all over Wiltshire. “We have had the garden since 2013 but wanted to make it much more sustainable,” said director Rosie Eliot. “We have two marvellous volunteers who have put in two wheelchair-height planters, which will be really useful because lots of our members are in wheelchairs and can’t do their own gardening.”

SIR – In the 1960s, I worked for the industrial group of the UK Atomic Energy Authority. Its head, Sir Christopher Hinton, told staff that they would be subject to a pay freeze for five years. Many, myself included, left the authority, which thereafter was no longer at the forefront of developing atomic energy for industrial purposes.
The budget for the development programme, which concentrated on nuclear reactors for power generation, was slashed by the government of the day with no regard for the long-term implications that are now evident in our dependence on foreign resources (Leading Article, July 27).
