The water will be monitored at the Linney Riverside Park for two months.

Water quality at a popular wild swimming spot in Shropshire will be monitored by a new £25,000 project.

The Environment Agency (EA), with funding from the River Severn Partnership Advanced Wireless Innovation Region, has installed high-tech sensors in the River Teme at the Linney Riverside Park, Ludlow.

The trial, lasting two months, will provide daily remote readings. Previously, water quality was manually checked once per week.
