Dead fish could be threat to pets, says local authority

An investigation's been launched - and a warning issued - after dead fish were found in a river in the south of the Island.

Malew Commissioners took to Facebook earlier today.

In its post the board says it's aware of fish deaths in the Silverburn river near Poulsom Park, and confirmed the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is investigating.

The local authority says you should keep your pets out of the waterway between Ballasalla and Castletown harbour.
