A barrister hired a digger, pulled 200 bags of rubbish out of a dead stream and got the fish, herons and dragonflies back. The Environment Agency @EnvAgency replied with a letter about a missing permit. Maximum punishment 2 years in prison.
That is Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland of @gardencourtlaw and the River Roding Trust @riverroding in East London.
Update for anyone who missed it. On 25 June the agency dropped the prosecution threat and sent a warning letter.
In August a study funded by Thames Water @thameswater and run with @Thames21 found 600 million litres of sewage contaminated water entering the lower Roding every year.
