Ooh it’s looking festive down #TottenhamLock! Not one but TWO fridges compromising the @CanalRiverTrust #PymmesBrook, #LeeNavigation pollution containment boom. @leaboaters @plasticfreehkny

I just searched for #Youthquake and #turnout.

I wish I hadn’t. I have hope now. It’s painful.

There’s a country out there to save.

GO AND VOTE. #VoteNHS #generalelections2019

Sewage overflows still plague the Thames. While the river is cleaner than it has been in a generation we're at risk of undermining that progress. Thames Water & the regulator are failing to agree long-term investment that will protect our precious river.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.

While people standing on Westminster Bridge London are able to photograph raw sewage collecting in the Thames right beside parliament the chair of the @EnvAgency @EmmaHowardBoyd can be seen posing outside the @UN in #newyork.

Need I say more.

We need to talk about #PymmesBrook #HealthyRivers
@LDN_environment @LondonAssembly

(Constant stream of #pollution observed at the confluence with #LeeNavigation today!) #WorldRiversDay

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Forgot to mention this.

The upper River Lee is a chalk stream and seems to be missing about 53% of its flow for this time of year, the remainder, what's currently flowing in the river, is in all probability made up of 100% of the discharge from the Luton Sewage Treatment Works

[London Waterkeeper @LDNWaterkeeper]

It looks like oxygen levels have dipped in the River Lea & fish are suffering.
Rain washes pollution off roads. Roads warm the rain too, so the water holds less O2.
Not sunny today so less photosynthesis to boost daytime oxygen levels.

@Alfred_Le_Roy @millfields_blog @CRTContactUs @CRTSouthEast @EnvAgency @LDNWaterkeeper @StonebridgeLock @leaboaters @thisisyourriver @Feargal_Sharkey @EnvAgencySE Irony that clean up boats sit idle 50 yards from this garbage and pollutants.

@Alfred_Le_Roy @CRTContactUs @CRTSouthEast @EnvAgency @LDNWaterkeeper @StonebridgeLock @thisisyourriver @Feargal_Sharkey @hackneygazette looks awfully familiar doesn’t it?

This is the mess on the canal next to the Green Flag Millfields Park. The Hackney Rangers do a outstanding job maintaining our green spaces - spoilt by lack of care on our water.
