Spring is returning the colour to the River Loddon. The Lone Bees are emerging from their Wintering and the floods are receding. Bluebells and blossom
The Rivers Trust have updated their sewage map. theriverstrust.org/key-issues/sew…?
The Wild Isles episode on Freshwater was fabulous, of course. But, as ever, the only pollutants mentioned were nutrients from farming and sewage. Why was pollution from urban surfaces forgotten again 🤷🏼♀️ Why is it that no-one wants to talk about road runoff? Answers on a postcard!
Parasite treatments and preventatives we put on our pets are finding their way into UK waters in concentrations that are toxic to aquatic species. imperial.ac.uk/news/243875/to…
The latest parish newsletter showing the areas around Old Basing and Lychpit that are under threat.
"Paul Whitehouse hits out at 'liquid death' sewage dumps in UK rivers." Paul's new hard-hitting 2 part documentary starts this Sunday, @BBCTwo 8:00pm. Features a certain Irishman of my acquaintance. :) mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/pau…
"More than three quarters of rivers tested in England breach proposed safety levels of “forever chemicals” and leading campaigners have warned of a “toxic timebomb” from the pollutants." thetimes.co.uk/article/3b4665…
Ministers shouldn't just be politely asking profiteering private water firms to upgrade outdated sewage infrastructure - nor wanting more 'plans'. Govt should be *forcing* them to do it. While water firms are swimming in cash, the rest of us are swimming in shit. @Feargal_Sharkey
@Feargal_Sharkey It's odd how the rich corporations and Land Owners seem to get away with things. Where as the peasants don't/cant/are punished. It's almost like the law is against the people it's supposed to protect. It's the Fuedal System never went away.
We're looking forward to hearing the "justifications" for the relaxation of law. But with elections looming it might not be enough.
"River pollution: Tories give MPs tips on rebutting sewage-dumping attacks from Lib Dems and Labour." I've seen that briefing doc, it's pretty poor I have to tell you. I really wouldn't want to be a backbench MP repeating any of that in public. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
"Raw sewage causing 'stench' running into Yorkshire lakes for weeks". Huge well done to @UnderwaterMedia for bringing this to everyone's attention. Bravo. 👋👋👋 yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/environme…
"Rishi Sunak facing Tory rebellion over sewage in UK rivers." That's what happens when your backbenchers begin to think they've been misled over the sewage scandal. Question is who's responsible, @DefraGovUK or ministers? inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
'We are slowly killing every single river in the country.' Feargal Sharkey backs 'super' fines for profiting water companies. The Prime Minister has denied the government is moving away from £250 million fines for water companies.
@Francescalibdem
It's a little damp out in the Loddon Valley near to Old Basing, but not too muddy. Land marked on old maps as Liable to Flood, still floods, but not as bad as just a few miles down stream. Building here would massively increase flooding in Wokingham and Reading. #SOLVE
They've already ran off with £72bn of our money, left our rivers full of sewage and abstracted local chalk streams to a point of extinction and to top it all off you're about to face the biggest increase in water bills in 20 years. And gov approved it. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
Protect our pollinators! 🐝 UK Gov has approved the use of a banned pesticide, a decision which will be disastrous for our bees, our wildlife, and our wellbeing. #SayNoToNeonics and tell your MP to represent you and pollinators at the debate! wtru.st/say-no-neonics…
Last night, 292 Conservative MPs voted to allow sewage dumping by water companies in our rivers and coasts for at least 15 more years. Can you spot your MP on the list?
