'Dive for Debris' helps clear Twenty Foot river at March of rubbish

A Fenland drain is now cleaner thanks to a group of hardy outdoor swimmers who joined local divers to clear debris from the river bed.

Nine local swimmers and three instructors, plus other divers from Dive In at Gildenburgh in Whittlesey, took part in the 'Dive for Debris' event on Sunday morning at the old bathing sheds on the Twenty Foot at Chain Bridge, March.

The event was part of an international effort to clear rubbish from seas and rivers.
