“Out of 47 sites visited in England and Wales in Wye catchment, 19 had drains running from the poultry units to a nearby watercourse. Many of the farms had drains excavated within a few metres of the sheds.”
More grim reading #SaveTheWye https://t.co/gvxrnQtB3I
British Egg Industry Council quoted in total denial of river pollution caused by egg farms - in the very article that reveals how egg farms are directly causing river pollution 🤦♂️
Almost as awful as the fact that this was allowed to happen in the 1st place https://t.co/DJiSwfXOnx
Bravo @RiverActionUK & @watsonchas for bringing this out into the light!
Major problems with pollution coming from free-range egg farms.
The @EnvAgency & @NatResWales have woefully neglected this. Total regulatory failure.

The worst thing about the Post Office story:
THEY KNEW!
The evidence of manure, slurry, nutrient & chemical abuse in the environment is in!
THEY KNEW!
Some Ag, farmers, political & state institutions CHOSE to ignore.
We now have the documented evidence!
@WATERSHED_i let’s talk!
Dear All
A single group for the Wye and all the catchment is, we believe, the best way to go.
We should all be proud of the effort and results that all groups are achieving.
Merging with #friendsoftheupperwye we are to become 'Friends of the River Wye' early 2024. #savethewye
On the very day this was delivered to the @SeneddClimate
I wonder what recommendations will come from the scrutiny session of last week where Mr Perry was questioned?

More insight at today's @CommonsWelshAff too.
The worst environment secretary ever (and that takes some doing!) has resigned. Good riddance @theresecoffey - you were utterly useless, and according to one leading conservationist who met you, the rudest and most uninterested politician they had ever met.
‼️7th Environment Minister in 7 years ‼️
What an extraordinary way to run a country in the middle of an environmental/freshwater/climate emergency

New Environment Secretary married to Water Industry executive. An industry that routinely breaks the law and holds the country to ransom over fixing the sewage and supply crises it created by ripping off the billpayer. @guardian
