Our own water testing results have revealed serious pollution concerns in local rivers and reedbeds — including dangerously high E. coli levels. These findings highlight a broader national problem: ongoing sewage discharges, weak regulation, and inadequate investment in water infrastructure.

Friends of the Earth’s campaign for a new Environmental Rights Act proposes exactly that — embedding this right in UK law to force polluters and regulators to act. Make your voice count: Sign the petition today and join the fight for safer, cleaner waterways
