RESIDENTS have expressed concerns for the welfare of two swans spotted trapped near Carr Mill Dam.

Visitors say they have seen the stranded swans in overflow at the site.

Residents have reported that a younger swan has been trapped at the site for about a week and that people have been feeding it during this time.

It and has since been joined by an older swan - believed to be its mother - who is also stuck.

They added that they are unable to help the swan due to the amount of rubbish in the area.

Visitors say they have contacted the RSPCA but have had no confirmation that the swans have been rescued.
