'Blaming the weather is an untenable excuse. it's like blaming the rain for the fact that you're getting wet because you failed to fix that hole in your roof' charles watson

NEWS: Major sewage leaks caused by leaky pipes claim that poor weather was to blame dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Since we launched our #Nature2030 campaign, 100,000 people have stood up to demand action from all politicians.

Vague promises won’t do – we need bold commitments to protect & recover nature by 2030💚 Wildlife and Countryside Link

That’s a wrap!

Week 24 of the strike against sewage has come to an end. That’s now officially two days of my life spent outside of this monstrous waste of money.

It’s been a while since I’ve gone 24 hours without sleep, and I don’t want to do it again anytime soon!

River Action welcomes the govt's plan 'in part'.

However, there's a serious lack of urgency in the 'Wye Action Plan' and a thundering silence on critically important actions needed to #SaveTheWye .

As charles watson puts it, 'I fear we've been here before'.. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

So the long overdue Wye Plan is out
Finally full acknowledgment of the role intensive agri has played in trashing the river
But one of the main recommendations of the plan is to…create a plan
And many actions are vague or “subject to consultation”
I fear we have been here before
