What is Trentbelly? Inside the first river-focused episode of local podcast NottsPod

Wed 09 Sept 2026

After one of his pupils caught a case of ‘Trentbelly’, the local nomenclature for illness caught from a polluted River Trent, secondary school teacher Tom Suchoruczka became curious about how the river got to the state it is now.
