"Farmers union objects to new bathing water designations." Oh, now that is interesting. The National Farmers' Union objected to every application for bathing water, care to explain NFU? Guardians of the countryside? Great bit of reporting by Shosha Adie 👏👏👏 endsreport.com/article/187258…





For change in North Herefordshire, vote Green 💚 That's the message from our conversations with local people all over the constituency - and from Best for Britain's new tactical voting advice too (GetVoting.org)! Help us make real change here: elliechowns.org.uk/volunteering



We were glad to hear Gov recognise that improving water quality is vital in the #KingsSpeech with plans for water industry reform. But, ambitious action is needed on agricultural pollution, road run-off & over-abstraction too. Today we put this message directly to Steve Reed MP.


I did ask what the National Farmers' Union advised farmers to do about the vast amounts of waste from 25m chickens which heavily pollutes the once beautiful #River #Wye. They had ideas about dealing with it . I'm sure Ellie Chowns a local MP, will be interested to hear those ideas!
