Today was a hearing where @SouthernWater apply for a drought order to abstract from the #rivertest to an environmentally damaging level. The images show pollution today into the @rivertest from their outfall at Nursling Industrial Estate. @EnvAgency do nothing!

@SouthernWater I reported it to you! You attended hours after the event (better than the @EnvAgency who didn’t even bother as “very busy”) and as tidal all evidence was washed away. You only tested for ammonia and dissolved O2. Where are your samples to a lab for chemicals and detergents?

@Upstreamdry Hi Howard, We had this reported to us yesterday and our teams attended the outfall and didn't find this was a pollution. The manholes on the industrial estate were also checked and everything is in working order. Kind regards, Kayleigh

@EnvAgencySW What a disrespectful joke! We’ve reported hundreds of pollution events to you on the lower river Test over the years, the most important stretch for salmon migration …and you’ve completely failed to act. Your regulation of river pollution is worse than poor. 👎

One of Hampshire’s rarest species is facing an extinction event. Pressures throughout their lifecycle, journeying from local chalk streams to sea and back again, has left Atlantic salmon fighting for survival. One pressure is pollution. Report it - 0800 807060. #SaveItchenSalmon

BREAKING: Court of Appeal judgment handed down today in our nationally important river case with @pickeringfish against @DefraGovUK and @EnvAgency. WE WON (again)! Government's appeal comprehensively dismissed. The ruling sets out exactly what @SteveReedMP needs to do to restore rivers across the country. No more excuses. No more delay.

On Tuesday I completed all the Wainwrights by climbing Great End. Unfortunately there was no visibility & it felt like a non-event, a huge anticlimax. So today me & Mrs M went back up in a cloud inversion to remember & it now feels like I have finally completed the Wainwrights.

@SouthernWater It’s a ferret. Not wildlife. An escaped pet!

This curious little explorer was recently rescued from an excavation site in Hampshire, lured out, and whisked to safety by a slice of pork pie 🦨 Many of our sites are teaming with wildlife and we have a whole team dedicated to looking after them and their habitats!

@carolinenokes @nationaltrust Have @nationaltrust considered these fly fishing beats are the birthplace of this sport. An enormous part of our traditional heritage and worth a fortune to our local economy. To stop managing the river for fly fishing here will be equivalent to stopping cricket at Lords.
