At least 1,000 dead fish have been pulled from a lake in Bexleyheath but no one knows what is killing them.

The Environment Agency say they have tested the water in Danson Lake and it is clean - so it is believed the fish are dying from a mystery disease.

Residents met to discuss the mystery of the dead fish left to rot in Danson Lake.

The Environment Agency said if it knew people had put fish in the lake, it could help to limit the impact on wildlife.

The Environment Agency and Bexley Council are investigating and said more tests on the water and the fish will be carried out.
