The tide is turning against the growth of US-style livestock mega farms in the UK Planning for the horrendous Cranswick pig & poultry factory rejected Next up RiverActionUK ‘s 3O April court hearing against giant Shropshire intensive poultry unit bbc.com/news/articles/…




This morning at Cardiff Civil Justice Centre 💪 To coincide with RiverActionUK hearing, campaigners gathered outside the court joined by the Goddess of the Wye and Lady Wye (Vey Straker) with water brought from the River Severn Afon Hafren. riveractionuk.com/cluck-off-rive…

We’re delighted to welcome three exceptional new trustees to the River Action board! 🎭Jim Murray MBE, our new Vice Chair, is an actor, artist and lifelong river defender. You might recognise him from The Crown, or from standing waist-deep in rivers in a suit, taking on Nando’s.







💥Massive legal win for RiverActionUK💥 Judge rules that livestock mega farms must take account of cumulative environmental impact Had this ruling been there 10 years ago the desecration of the River Wye by intensive 🐓production would never have happened shropshirestar.com/news/2025/06/1…

Brilliant: High Court has ruled the cumulative impact of factory farms must be taken into account when considering planning applications. A huge victory for our rivers! Congrats to RiverActionUK, Alison Caffyn & all who supported this landmark case.👏 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I explain in the The Guardian why RiverActionUK’s court victory to block a 🐓megafarm in Shropshire creates a critically important legal precedent for preventing the environmental crisis caused by the UK’s boom in livestock factory farming ⬇️ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"...toxic megafarms produce vast quantities of animal waste, which is spread on local land with minimal consideration for the cumulative environmental destruction it can cause. This week, the high court called time on this practice." - charles watson This article is a must read. ⬇️
