Thank you to everyone who defended #NutrientNeutrality protection for nature - the Government's proposals have been rejected.
Peers from all parties have concluded that we can build houses *without* sacrificing rivers or weakening environmental law.
Now on to restoring nature.
Good news. DEFRA agreed to strengthen legal links between Local Nature Recovery Strategies & local plans.
The change is in response to @kateparminter's proposals, supported by Kathy Willis & @WhitchurchGirl. Thanks to @RichardHRBenyon for listening.
Now to get the LNRSs flying!
An amendment has been tabled to *stop* Government's #NutrientNeutrality plans.
It's in the name of the Duke of Wellington, a respected cross-bencher. @uklabour's @WhitchurchGirl has already added her support & we understand Peers from every party are lining up to fight this hard
Fingers tightly crossed for the House of Lords on 12 Sept and a crucial chance to force a Govt rethink on scrapping Nutrient Neutrality - a big 'own goal' given that voters care deeply about cleaning up our rivers. More about what's at stake in Wiltshire in my blog @WiltsWildlife
Wiltshire is home to a globally important chalk stream, the Salisbury Avon, and its tributaries: the Wylye, Nadder, Bourne and Ebble.
But - our chalk streams are under threat. Find out why and how you can help: https://t.co/5iBX1b6rsy

Today's damning @theCCCuk Net Zero review says Govt must double tree planting rates. Our analysis shows that farmers can achieve 100% of this target by integrating trees on farm for a fraction of the farm budget @SoilAssociation@Groundswellaguk https://t.co/LZImZDTnfa
Nature markets can still be a vital future element of UK farming systems - if they can be made to work.
We heard from farmers across UK nations about the potential and challenges of #NaturalCapital markets, and the guardrails needed from government👇

An NHS 'healthy eating' app is promoting ultra-processed junk food to families - energy drinks, crisps and instant noodles among the UPF products receiving a government endorsement. Insane!

The @OfficeforEP pulls no punches here.
Ministers need to make tackling the nature and climate crises a priority.
That means more resources, greater focus and better coordination. ~ @ruthmchambers
