Ellie Chowns MP was pleased to join River Action in Parliament for the launch of their Agricultural Water Pollution Strategy — an issue that is deeply important to her and to communities across Herefordshire.
The event marked the launch of River Action’s strategy calling for stronger action to tackle agricultural water pollution, which continues to damage rivers across the country, including the River Wye. The strategy highlights the need to reduce harmful agricultural run-off, improve nutrient management, and ensure environmental regulations are properly enforced, while supporting sustainable farming practices.
Protecting rivers is vital for wildlife, public health, and the long-term future of farming in Herefordshire.
