#Angling - Newtownabbey anglers have urged vigilance after the discovery of a pollutant flowing into the Three Mile Water in the Co Antrim town earlier this week.
As the Newtownabbey Times reports, the suspect discharge was coming from a sewage pumping station.
But later tests by Northern Ireland Water and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency found no damage had been caused to the river habitat.
