National charity Surfers Against Sewage are organising a protest about pollution in the River Trent. The protest is due to take place at Stoke Bardolph on Saturday, April 23 at 1pm.
Local representative for the organisation, and Nottingham resident, Neil Cutts explained why he thinks the protest is important, which forms part of a National Day of Action on Water Quality this Saturday. The action will see many protests across the country.
In recent years there have been hundreds of ‘spillage’ sites in Nottinghamshire into smaller waterways and streams as well as directly into the Rivers Trent, Leen, Maun and Erewash, according to data compiled by environmental charity The Rivers Trust.
