UK Nature and Environment

The Greens have become the second political party to back i’s blueprint to save Britain’s beleaguered rivers amid growing demands for the next Government to take meaningful action to tackle sewage leaks and pollution.

More than 20 leading environmental groups and campaigners have now backed the five-point plan to bring the UK’s waterways and seas back to health, as polls repeatedly show that the environment is one of the most important issues for voters in the general election.

The Green Party of England and Wales has now followed the Liberal Democrats in backing our manifesto, which seeks pledges to reverse the damage to our waterways, including immediate steps to improve river health, overhaul regulators, slash sewage spills and create more clean bathing places. Political parties in all four UK nations are being challenged by i to sign up to the Save Britain’s Rivers manifesto during the General Election campaign.
