An 'island' of wet-wipes , the size of 2 tennis courts (circa 522 square metres), has accumulated by London's Hammersmith bridge over the Thames (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/aug/14/wet-wipe-island-london-river-thames-pollution-hammersmith-bridge). This rotting, putrid mass consequently has to be cleaned up at great expense. It presumably originates from untreated sewage discharged into the river. This island is yet more evidence of the inappropriate behaviour of Thames Water. Telling folk not to flush wet-wipes isn't the answer.
