South Shropshire MP Philip Dunne has signed a new manifesto, outlining ways the government can clean up the UK’s rivers, seas, and waterways, including a new fund that could support local initiatives in Shropshire to tackle pollution using money raised by fining polluting water firms.
– Designate at least 22 new river bathing water sites across England every five years, replicating the success of the coastal system, which spurred efforts to clean up our seas. In 1990, only 28 per cent of coastal bathing water sites met that time’s high standard. Today, 93 per cent of the 400 sites are good or excellent.
– Reform nutrient neutrality requirements to unlock the 120,000 new homes currently blocked across 74 local authority areas by creating a private market for developers to fund river catchment restoration to enable existing polluters to adopt cleaner practices. “There are no quick fixes; our Victorian sewerage infrastructure is ageing and not designed to cope with today’s demand. But there’s far more we can do to clean up our rivers and seas, and I’m pleased to support the practical proposals in this manifesto which will accelerate our progress toward resolving these long-term challenges.”
