The results of lax regulation for the last decade or so.

70-80% of dairy farms in England & Wales are operating illegally and polluting rivers.

The price we pay for milk is ridiculously low & it’s unsurprising infrastructure investment is lacking

Another broken economic model where environment & taxpayer pays

We welcome the Archbishop Andrew John contribution to discussions on the state of our rivers and the 'indefensible abuse' caused by pollution such as raw sewage and intensive farming practices.

Welcome new entrant to river health challenge. Hope can offer a non political, empathetic, compassionate contribution. I often think the governance & policy heavy approach of last few decades misses the vital spiritual connection to nature that humans have lost. This could help.

Our key concerns with UK Government’s ‘Plan’ for the Wye:
⚠️Plans are familiar ground; how will this one be different?
⚠️With no binding and monitorable targets, how will progress be driven?
⚠️How will the risk of embedding unsustainable practices be avoided? 👇

It a plan that Defra will have calculated will give them a reasonable chance of defending inevitable legal challenges in future.

It buys them another few years.

It certainly won’t result in rapid changes of land use or practices.

Defra has published a plan, of sorts, to improve the water quality of the River Wye. But the Wye is a cross-border river.

“The grown-up approach here would have been for DEFRA to produce a joint action plan for the Wye with the Welsh government.”

The long-awaited government ‘Action Plan’ for the River Wye looks more like a plan to save the intensive poultry industry than one to save the river.

Over £40 million for incinerators and AD plants to process poultry muck. No system change, just a bung to business-as-usual.
