Meanwhile those who want to reside and build in the Rivers Wye & Lugg catchment areas are having to buy phosphate credits from either Hfds Council or Welsh Water to compensate for the ongoing pollution of our rivers from both human and agricultural waste which the Environment Agency fails to stop.
If we are to truly grasp the nettle on the issue of agricultural pollution in the Wye, we need a Water Protection Zone - I pressed the government to meet with me and other local MPs to discuss how we can progress implementation of this.

A major new YouGov poll of 2,600+ people shows:
78% favour solar
63% support onshore wind
70% back offshore wind
And 70% would support a solar farm near their own home.
That’s a landslide.

👀 So while all eyes were on the budget, Ministers just slipped out their North Sea Future Plan. While it’s good to see them stick to manifesto pledge not to grant new licenses, it’s a shame to see approval of “tiebacks” to existing fields - unnecessary concession that undermines climate messages

Better don’t put the CO2 in the air in the first place. Use electric transportation and heat pumps. And power these things with renewables (it’s cheaper than fossils anyway)
