According to an initial, single report, residents in Brentford have voiced concerns over sewage flowing into the town's canal network. Over the summer, dead animals have appeared in the water, particularly in the Brentford Lock basin where the Grand Union Canal meets the River Thames. This issue has reportedly been exacerbated by a particularly intense heatwave, described as an 'epidemic of heat' by Paul Keane. The situation has stirred anxiety among the local community as they witness the environmental impact.
