Ooh it’s looking festive down #TottenhamLock! Not one but TWO fridges compromising the @CanalRiverTrust #PymmesBrook, #LeeNavigation pollution containment boom. @leaboaters @plasticfreehkny

I just searched for #Youthquake and #turnout.
I wish I hadn’t. I have hope now. It’s painful.
There’s a country out there to save.
GO AND VOTE. #VoteNHS #generalelections2019

Sewage overflows still plague the Thames. While the river is cleaner than it has been in a generation we're at risk of undermining that progress. Thames Water & the regulator are failing to agree long-term investment that will protect our precious river.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
While people standing on Westminster Bridge London are able to photograph raw sewage collecting in the Thames right beside parliament the chair of the @EnvAgency @EmmaHowardBoyd can be seen posing outside the @UN in #newyork.
Need I say more.

Forgot to mention this.
The upper River Lee is a chalk stream and seems to be missing about 53% of its flow for this time of year, the remainder, what's currently flowing in the river, is in all probability made up of 100% of the discharge from the Luton Sewage Treatment Works

It looks like oxygen levels have dipped in the River Lea & fish are suffering.
Rain washes pollution off roads. Roads warm the rain too, so the water holds less O2.
Not sunny today so less photosynthesis to boost daytime oxygen levels.

Irony that clean up boats sit idle 50 yards from this garbage and pollutants.

This is the mess on the canal next to the Green Flag Millfields Park. The Hackney Rangers do a outstanding job maintaining our green spaces - spoilt by lack of care on our water.
