I believe there is huge support to sort out river pollution but to return to relatively clean rivers nationally is a huge task.
There's no doubt that the blame can be leveled squarely on the shoulders of the water companies making huge profits for their shareholders without taking due care. Without tougher legislation and regulation the water companies will continue to destroy our rivers, this has to change.

The Government and the Environmental Agency are culpable allowing this to happen.
Over time the EA has become complacent and now not fit for purpose. The EA need a complete overall to return to the nations environmental regulator.
Boris's "back of a fag packet recovery plan" will have some rivers back to a reasonable water quality by 2035, this is simply not good enough and does anyone really believe it?

Why not make the water companies clean up our rivers, they are causing the problem, they have the funds. It's about time that the government came down hard on these polluting companies and our nations environmental regulator. We must cease making the situation worse and began an expedient recovery plan with an environmental regulator that's fit for purpose.
