Good to see Eleanor Storey covering this important story and glad to see 'alternative' options being explored. Never should have been on the table... Stop the Wensum Link 🍃💚🍃.

“This has gone on for far too long and, as everyone knows, rivers are the bloodline and life of the land … we have a moral and civic obligation as a nation to protect and sort this horrific issue out. Our rivers are life.” - Bear Grylls OBE Thank you, Bear! 🙌 #MarchForWater 🧵..
