It is time for decisive action to prevent our rivers being used as open sewers. Let’s return them to people and nature. On 26th October, we’re supporting the #MarchForCleanWater in London to demand urgent action from our new Government. #FloodTheStreets marchforcleanwater.org

Massive threat to UK aquatic life from the double whammy of warmer waters & pollution as the “water companies and poorly controlled industrial farming..have been increasingly pouring raw sewage, animal waste & fertilisers into our waterways for decades” theguardian.com/environment/ar…

7 days straight of raw sewage discharge into Windermere, but United Utilities refuse to be interviewed on BBC Radio 4 Today. Contempt for accountability & us. Two actions you can take: 1. Follow MattStaniek, indefatigable Windermere campaigner. 2. Join marchforcleanwater.org on 26/10

A story of grotesque corporate greed and catastrophic failure of regulation. Thames Water 💧 is now debt-ridden to the tune of more than £15 billion and has secretly lobbied Whitehall to secure huge bill hikes. Illegal sewage dumping will continue and customers will be ripped off.

The good people of Yorkshire are not happy 😡 ⁦Yorkshire Water 💧⁩ no longer deserves to carry the region’s name given its appalling pollution record ⬇️ “Water regulation is toothless in this county in the face of…brazen disregard for the environment” yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/c…

Instead of "canaries in the coalmine" we should speak of "seabirds on the skerries": today sees 5 seabirds added to the UK Red List of "Most Concern", inc. Arctic Tern, Great Skua, Great Black-Backed Gull. Miraculous creatures all, sounding their warnings. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"What we've got today is a long list of measures that will cost the government nothing and is really not going to fix anything because it's the system that's broken." River Action's charles watson calling out the failures the govt's new water bill on BBC Radio 4 this morning. 📻👇

Today’s new Water Bill is a step forward but fails to fix the system. We need far stronger enforcement measures, more resources for regulators, measures to tackle pollution from farming & finally to bring water back into public hands -join the March to demand more! charles watson

It’s been an important week for our long suffering rivers - & if anything best summarises the critical juncture we are now at in ending the pollution scandal - it’s today’s leading article in The Times “Everything depends on enforcement” #cleanitup ⬇️⬇️ thetimes.com/article/9f1409…
