@SteveBarclay wants to overturn a landmark Judgement that exposed how @DefraGovUK and @EnvAgency had completely misunderstood their duties to restore England’s rivers.

He wants to spend taxpayer money fighting us, not fixing the problem.

A 🧵… Image In November, we WON a judicial review with @pickeringfish. They’re a group of Yorkshire anglers who’ve been pushing for the @EnvAgency to properly regulate pollution coming into their local beck, for decades.

Anglers 1. Government and Environment Agency 0. Image

BREAKING: THIS IS BIG! Judgement today in our judicial review with @pickeringfish against @DefraGovUK and @EnvAgency.

WE WON!🎉

In one of the most significant UK rulings affecting water protection policy in years.

Welcome to your new role @SteveBarclay.

A mega thread... 🧵 Image There are 4,929 waterbodies in England. Only 16% of them – 14% of rivers – are currently at good ecological status or potential.

The target is 100% by 2027. That’s what it says in the Water Framework Directive regulations. Image

Back in 2018, we got data from @YorkshireWater. 15-minute continuous monitoring data for Pickering treatment works. We sent it to the @EnvAgency.

A thread...🧵 Image The case involves ongoing pollution of the #RiverTest, an iconic #chalkstream. Pollution from Nursling Industrial Estate near Southampton enters the river from a Southern Water outfall on its banks. Image

“This is scandalous” @NatResWales sneak out a report which confirms both the link between intensive poultry units and damage to #RiverWye SAC species and the gap in the regulatory regime to address it. A thread explaining all... 🧵⬇️ Over 2 years ago Fish Legal notified @NatResWales that environmental damage was being caused to the River Wye by Intensive Poultry Units in Wales. @NatResWales denied it. No evidence they said, looking at data from 2009 – 2015...
