This is laudable. However, please do not include Hackney Marshes as a 'wild swimming' destination. The banks of the river are a SMINC. Even if sewage is reduced, the water is shallow and highly contaminated with leachates from bomb rubble buried underneath the marshes ⚠️

The definition of ‘grey belt’ is vague. This risks opening up Green Belt land to unnecessary development. We're supporting CPRE Hertfordshire's petition in calling for change. Sign the petition.

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot

“Head of OFWAT hear us say, Thames Water NO way!”
OFWAT is considering allowing Thames Water to break the rules and dump sewage in our rivers and seas for the next 15 years.
