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.

@EnvAgency Huge floating island of toxic trash! Near Princess of Wales in E5 Clapton, London on River Lea. 🤢@LDNWaterkeeper @StonebridgeLock @leaboaters @thisisyourriver @Feargal_Sharkey
Previously reported yet no action.
Poor fish/ birds!!
Lots of people ask us about river clean ups, well @Thames21 are the experts, learn from the best ⬇️💚

The boom across the mouth of the Pymmes Brook in Tottenham has been replaced countless times (my photo is from Sept 2014). We've seen it in different shapes and sizes but each boom has a one thing in common - useless at preventing pollution entering the River Lea.
There is a trash island floating down #riverlea AGAIN. Boom has broken free from Pymmes Brook after ☔️ AGAIN. #PlasticsChallenge #borednow Post your pics & caption competition @CanalRiverTrust @hackneygazette @MooCanoes @LDNWaterkeeper @Feargal_Sharkey @Thames21 @StonebridgeLock

Today is #WorldOceansDay! 🌎💦🐋
Rivers are one of the main ways #PlasticPollution gets into our oceans. Plastic in rivers = plastic in oceans 👎
#TogetherWeCan🌊 stop the #PlasticPollution problem by cleaning up our #rivers and keeping them #PlasticFree.
