During a campaign visit to the River Wye, the Greens are expected to urge the next government to commit to nationalising water companies.
The Green Party is to set out a plan for the UK’s rivers, as it calls for a “drastic change” to be made to water and sewage infrastructure.
Between 72-74% of phosphate pollution in the Wye is caused by agriculture, according to Government figures. This can cause the death of many species that are vital to the river ecosystem. “The decline in the Wye’s ecological status is a stark warning that has been ignored for too long. The river has no voice, but it does have a political manifesto that puts its priorities front and centre.
Mr Fearnley-Whittingstall said: “Ellie and I are clear that the only way to end the scandal of our filthy water is to tackle the pollution at source.
