Salford Watersports Centre have temporarily suspended all activities because of the recent discovery of bird flu at The Quays.
The activities at the centre were originally suspended a few weeks ago but have since had to close until further notice since the “outbreak” has been confirmed.
In a statement released online, the centre noted that they were “hopeful that this outbreak is brief and that our area is deemed safe to use in the near future.”
The government’s advice for visitors to areas where waterfowl and wild birds gather is to keep to footpaths, keep dogs on leads, not to feed wild waterfowl, and not to pick up or touch sick, dead birds or discarded bird feathers.
Dead swans, geese, ducks, gulls, or birds of prey can be reported to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs helpline on 03459 335577.
