When Mark Barrow started filming the River Warfe in 2014, the water was clearer and rich with wildlife. Wind forward 10 years, and his footage shows a shocking decline of a river that's now, in parts, completely devoid of life. And it's not just the Warfe. 0% of England’s rivers have good health status. But It doesn’t have to be like this. We CAN rescue Britain’s waters. Join us to #MarchForCle...

River Action is taking the Environment Agency to court
Просмотров 1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
At the current rate of pollution, it is predicted that the River Wye could be dead in two more years. But it CAN be saved. That's why River Action is taking the Environment Agency to court, as we believe that government bodies responsible for protecting the Wye have acted unlawfully and we have evidence to prove that. River Action is a small and agile campaigning organisation on a mission to re...

    This is what happens when politicians sell our national infrastructure, like Thames Water, to foreign investors. Who would have thought that people not from Britain, with no attachment to Britain and who don't live in Britain, don't give a fuck about Britain.

    The Severn, The Teme are intermittently the same. You can actually smell the sewage in the river water. Canoeists are the best people to ask, picking up turds and sanitary towels as they paddle. It’s abhorrent.

    It is so refreshing to see "someone do something positive" in our political environment where nothing seems to work. The Government appears clueless and helpless. I would like the Environment Agency to charge huge fines on the erring Water Companies and use these funds to further protect our rivers. Good luck with the Court case.

Water companies should refund money to consumers as they have failed to do the job they have been paid for. And now they want to increase consumers water bills to pay for the filth they have been dumping 😡😡😡 . Unbelievably Corrupt 😔
