We are Shrewsbury residents who are fed up seeing sh*t in the River Severn.
Can you help us get our MP & the water companies to clean up their act?
Raw sewage is being discharged into the River Severn in Shrewsbury and it's killing our beautiful river.
Water quality, wildlife and human health are all being affected.
Why is this happening?
It's the perfect sh*t storm...
* Water companies regularly discharging raw sewage into the river
* Run off and pesticides from farming, especially poultry farming
* Illegal dumping of chemicals and rubbish
* A lack of proper government regulation
It's not just the River Severn. The UK's waterways are in crisis. Just 14% of the rivers in England are rated as having a 'good' ecological standard.
We have had enough!
We want the Severn to flourish before Shrewsbury's Big Town Plan becomes more about 'rivercide' than 'riverside'
Can you help us stop this?
