Water quality monitors near England's largest lake which were deemed ineffective by campaigners have now been moved.

The Environment Agency (EA) installed the monitors at Cunsey Beck, which feeds into Windermere in the Lake District, after a fish kill in June 2022 in which "100% of life" within the river was suspected to have died.

Earlier this year, Save Windermere campaigners claimed a test using non-toxic dye showed the equipment was wrongly placed and could not pick up flow coming from a nearby sewage pipe.
