HUNDREDS of dead fish have been found in a pond in a park but the problem is not due to pollution, the Environment Agency has said.

The fish were spotted in Bramhall Park in Stockport when a foul stench started coming from the pond and around 200 of the animals appeared to be dead in the water.

Nicky Todd regularly visits Bramhall Park and was worried by what she saw. She said: "I'd gone for a walk down there and there was a smell.

"What we thought were leaves were actually dead silver fish, there were hundreds."
