'Eyesore' state of River Dee beauty spot 'buried under islands of debris'. Please note that the PKC Group would like to point out that the tree / log jams are natural feature but the litter they collect is not and that is the main problem. Waste plastic litter in the river getting caught on the trees, and this is the main problem.
