"I'm not an 'influencer. I'm a BINFLUENCER!"🗑️🎥 Premier of my latest project will end a talk I'm doing at the Keswick Alhambra 7.30pm Fri 24th🎟️⬇️ keswickalhambra.co.uk/KeswickAlhambr… A short public information feature about "fly camping" & litter issues in the #lakedistrict Narrated by BBC Cumbria's Helen Millican and voiced by a local young lad, I hope it helps raise awareness and leads to folk to care about the environment. Hopefully see you there! Should be a good evening - especially so as the cinema has a new screen installed too!

The Gaywood River Oil/Diesel/Petrol spill March 2025 & went on for over 9 days & @EnvAgencyAnglia failed to discover its source despite the fact it was coming from a stream flowing alongside a waste & metal recycling company ? @GaywoodRiver

In the rolling landscape of the Yorkshire Dales, individual valleys can feel like their own hidden pockets of nature. Such is the case for Swineley Farm – a 500-acre plot that contains 1.5km of a small River Ure tributary called Widdale Beck.

“Fly camping” issues continue in the #lakedistrict 💔😢🤬 My volunteer friends retrieved all this around Derwentwater inc at Surprise View. ABANDONED! The kit has been donated to the Cubs receipts found int tents have been forwarded to @Cumbriapolice 👍 Fines to come I expect!

If you're out enjoying the sticks please take all your detritus home with you afterwards! There really is no excuse.

£8.5 million to repair environmental harm sounds impressive. But it risks entrenching a dangerous precedent: pay to pollute. Much of this money comes from Enforcement Undertakings that allow polluters to fund projects instead of facing prosecution. What was meant to be the exception is increasingly becoming the norm. Meanwhile, pollution continues and ageing infrastructure keeps failing. Payments after the damage is done are no substitute for investment that stops pollution at source. Pollute now, pay later is not the solution. Fix the system. Enforce the law. Protect rivers. anglingtrust.net/2026/04/14/pay… #AnglersAgainstPollution
