First results of water quality testing

Our initial tests of the quality of water in the River Coquet are encouraging. We have tested for:

  • Temperature

  • Acidity

  • Ammonia

  • Phosphate and

  • Electrical conductivity

We have recently tested for E coli and intestinal enterococci (as indicators of untreated sewage) and both results are graded 'Excellent'. However, moving our testing site downstream of the outfall from the Sewage Treatment Works might prove less positive.

We wish to thank the Environment Agency and Cllr. Glen Sanderson for enabling us to acquire testing kits.

1,000 more trees planted
Last winter, CAN planted a total of 1,000 trees at Northumberland Zoo, land near Wintrick, around Park View and at Felton Primary School, with lots of help from teachers and students. This brings our total to 4,000 trees over the past three years. This winter, we plan to plant another 1,500 trees.
