Really useful report mapping UK factory farm hotspots. And great set of recommendations.

Advice led regulation tends to work in highly compliant sectors where operators work regularly and proactively with the regulator. Unfortunately agriculture is not a highly compliant sector.
A legal claim potentially worth hundreds of millions to compensate thousands of people for pollution in the River Wye and its tributaries has been extended to include US multi national food producer Cargill Plc. The claim is lead by @ollyholland ow.ly/5Kwi50RuAtQ

I grew up swimming in the Wye in Mid Wales - Builth Wells, Llanfair-ym-Maullt between 1973 - 87. The river was loaded with wildlife, in it, and surrounding it - granted not as much as pre EU Agri policy, where my Dad saw shoals of Trout and Salmon there in the 1926 -50s. Then…
Flashback: this was the moment @OliverBullough led a public meeting in Hay-on-Wye, where the crowd voted overwhelmingly in favour of applying for bathing status. The people are determined to protect this river. We’re being failed by government.

We can't get the effort and money invested into the river back. But I hope the work we have done will help the river recover faster. We will continue to work with others to improve the river, hopefully we can use this low point as a launching pad for bigger and better things.
There was a real groundswell and I was feeling positive about the future of the river over the next five years. It's now going to be very hard to see any improvement, as most will be lost.
It's heartbreaking because this river has been the focus of so much of our work in the last 4 years. We have been working with farms across the catchment and are making real progress on reducing nutrient pollution. This is on top of kilometers of riparian habitat restoration.
Really useful report mapping UK factory farm hotspots. And great set of recommendations.

A key speaker at The UK River Summit, Penny Gane @FishLegal_ says, “With the state of our rivers and lakes rarely out of the headlines, this event is an opportunity for local people to find out what is being done to turn things around.” Book your tickets: orvis.co.uk/products/uk-ri…
A legal claim potentially worth hundreds of millions to compensate thousands of people for pollution in the River Wye and its tributaries has been extended to include US multi national food producer Cargill Plc. The claim is lead by @ollyholland ow.ly/5Kwi50RuAtQ
@MerryAlbright The reality is the current govt have no interest is dealing with the issue. False promises and money offers that will never be released before the end of their term - cheap words and actions.
You what, Wales? No protective bathing status for Wye because ‘having bathers in the river will harm the environment, considering its protected status' Swimming is now officially an act of resistance. #LoveYourRiver #savethewye theguardian.com/commentisfree/… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The intensification of dairy production, driven by pricing pressures, failure to enforce regulations & inadequate govt incentives for dairy farmers, has become one of the largest single polluters of our rivers.💩 But there ARE solutions. Read our report 👉bit.ly/dairy-report
@organicbishop You missed out the bit about committing to a long term plan to produce a long term plan pending evidence that never emerges?
@MerryAlbright Surely you first have to have a round table discussion, commission a report and make sure the press report about how hard you are thinking about doing something
The bath is overflowing, both taps running & plug is in. Bathroom floor is flooded & dripping through the ceiling, ruining joists, electrics & the room below. Damp is setting in. Do you… A: turn off the taps? B: find a teacup to scoop water out of the window for years on end?
ARRRGGH!!!! Orwellian nonsense. The beloved stretch of the River Wye can't receive official bathing status because there are too many bathers who will put it at risk? @WelshGovernment seriously?! Thanks for highlighting @OliverBullough @SaveTheWye theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
It really is the most extraordinary disgrace that @WelshGovernment / @NatResWales would 1) not only fail to protect the Wye 2) not only dismiss the attempts of ordinary people to rectify the damage 3) but to *JUSTIFY* their dismissal by implying those very people are the problem.
Flashback: this was the moment @OliverBullough led a public meeting in Hay-on-Wye, where the crowd voted overwhelmingly in favour of applying for bathing status. The people are determined to protect this river. We’re being failed by government.
This is not a good look for agriculture. It is correct and fair that farms are given time to fix breaches when found to be non-compliant with a regulation. The fact that 60% still didn't make improvements within the time frame is not good.
🚨EXCLUSIVE 🚨 60% of farm improvement actions agreed by the Environment Agency in the last four years were not completed on time, with half of those relating to water quality measures, data obtained by ENDS reveals ⬇️ endsreport.com/article/187100…
I grew up swimming in the Wye in Mid Wales - Builth Wells, Llanfair-ym-Maullt between 1973 - 87. The river was loaded with wildlife, in it, and surrounding it - granted not as much as pre EU Agri policy, where my Dad saw shoals of Trout and Salmon there in the 1926 -50s. Then…
Bewildering stance on Wye bathing status from Welsh govt: Let’s not bother monitoring whether the river’s safe to swim in because it might attract swimmers. 😕
Our application for an area of the River Wye to be granted bathing status has been rejected - an incredibly frustrating result. The brilliant @OliverBullough has written about this & why it’s a maddening Catch 22 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Did I mention that the largest source of pollution in England's rivers is agriculture? And @NFUtweets does what exactly?
🚨Factory farms in England have breached environmental regulations THOUSANDS of times in recent years Violations include spilling animal waste into waterways, leaving dead animals in maggot-infested bins, and illegally incinerating pigs thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024-0…
Now here's a question. Why in God's name do you even have to apply for bathing water status in the first place? How come our rivers aren't clean enough already? "Cleanest since the industrial revolution", my arse.
