Paddleboarders, dogs jumping in, people swimming – all enjoying our local river (Devon campaigners call for ‘right to riverbank’ after finding Dart has 108 owners, 29 July), but our kingfisher family have disappeared, and otters no longer seen. Let’s leave much of our riverbanks to the natural world, which we are destroying so fast.
