Has anyone demonstrated the damage to the views from Rousham ? The developer's photomontages don't seem damning (but then they wouldn't). I'd be more upset at lack of scrutiny of PFAS from historic fire-fighting foam at US bases which seems to be concerning people from Okinawa to New Mexico.

The photomontages from the statue of the Dying Gladiator aren't showing overwhelming damage to me (but then the developers presumably wait until full leaf development before taking the baseline pics) "to be viewed at arms length" see the dashed yellow line !

Thames Water TDRA tells me that next week they should respond to my request for details of their data on PFAS compounds in the Thames at the abstraction point and in the effluent water after treatment by their trial Mogden pilot plant. They had told Ofwat it should have been in summer consultation!

Germany seems worried about PFAS-4 levels in drinking water above 12ng/l. Almost getting frequent in my bit of London ?
