'Thames Water sewage discharges in Berkshire during Storm Ciaran'
'Thames Water says it plans to spend some 1.6 billion on upgrading its infrastructure. But it was also reported earlier this year to be struggling to pay off some 14 billion of debt and has been criticised for paying millions of pounds in dividends each year to its internal shareholders.'

This is what the looks like.
We need to look at
Did you know that raw sewage is being dumped into English waterways the equivalent of 800 times a day Water companies treat our blue spaces like an open sewer. Meanwhile government and regulators continue to turn a blind eye. This needs to stop. If you're like me and agree that PM Rishi Sunak should take action to stop sewage pollution in UK rivers and beaches, can you add your name

I hadn't seen a Giant Freshwater Crayfish for 2 months, which is a bit unusual. However, yesterday I found this medium-sized one turning rocks over & snacking on whatever was underneath (probably plant-matter).
Just look at those colours!

'...Michael Gove, made a further concession to the builders cause. To ease the pain of an end to rural building targets, he introduced an amendment to a levelling up bill that would absolve housebuilders from polluting local watercourses. Even Tory peers would not stand for that, and it was given short shrift in the House of Lords on Wednesday.'

'Tire wear and tear revealed as a major contributor to waterway pollution'

RSPB apologises for calling government ministers liars.
They say they were frustrated and criticised the people not the policy.
As a charity the RSPB risks losing its charitable status if it becomes involved in political campaigning.
No doubt the right wing press will jump on this opportunity to silence the RSPB and its 11 million members.
Absolute madness that solely benefits business interests and real estate developers. Thankfully, in Oregon, we have stringent laws on the books preventing this idiotic rollback by the Supreme Court.
