The EA issue licences to polluters to legally pollute our Rivers and Streams...and rake in money in doing so...just like the Rod licence... so there is a conflict of interest. They screw money from both parties. Their main interest is protecting the commercial business interests of our...
1.5 'BILLION' LITRES of untreated sewage (Raw Sewage) flowing into the River Thames. C’mon, 1.5 'BILLION' LITRES IS NOT an accidental 'SPILL'…it is a deliberate ongoing Discharge and saves them money IN NOT treating sewage to make it safe AND ITS GOING ON IN OTHER RIVERS AND STREAMS.. We all pay...
...and they haven't sorted it out with the £billions they say they have spent since 1989 when they were privatised...It is the same now as it has always been, if not worse...What we are seeing on our riverbanks is completely the opposite to what Thames Water and the EA hype out about clean...
The problem is that even that amount doesn't hurt Thames Water....They are still doing it...They were discharging Raw Sewage on the River Colne at Maple Cross Yesterday. The EA won't or can't stop it although it was reported numerous times on the EA hotline number. See yesterdays pics from...
River Lea/Fishers Green
I hear that Fishers Green and a stretch at Broxbourne has had its Riverbank Trees and vegetation Slaughtered...Has anyone got the pics or video footage of the damage and destruction...Thanks. Lets hope they dont encroach on Kings Weir.
Have you seen bankside destruction like this on your local river? The Angling Trust are investigating so please send related photographs, videos and as much information as possible to james.champkin@anglingtrust.net

I have just posted this on the EA FB page. Click the link to see what has happened here. There are complaint links as well.
And there you have it...EA unbelievable habitat destruction..'creating a better place'.. ;) Classic idiotic Flood Defence statement.. Chopping down all the healthy trees...
To be safer...Slightly turn the angle of the fish your holding (and your body), so it is not directly straight in line with the flash, and it will deflect the flash off the side of the fish and not bounce straight back into the lens..and make sure the white belly is not tilted upwards. Anything...
Hi Kevin..I have now passed on your R.Medway tree pics to the Angling Trust along with others. They have asked if you can cornfirm that the EA/EA contractors did this, or landowner or other. I have to find this info out for them on all the rivers to go with the pics. Many thanks Kevin. You have...
I'll check it when i get out...and also if they have done upstream in other parts. The Angling Trust want to confirm that the EA or EA contractors have done it or the landowner, council or other. They need that info on all rivers/canals/riverbank trees that have been massacred with the photo...
Thanks John...I'll have a look and photograph it. I have the before pics of that venue, so i will get the aftermaths. Does it mention 'when' they did it?
Protected River Habitat Destruction..When you have time, you must read this 'all' the 9 pages of comments, and EA responses etc regarding the tree destruction and 'in river' damage on the River Clun(TEME Trib) to where a highly protected river section was raped and destroyed. It is unbelievable...
..and then the EA put this out yesterday.... Read the comments and replys etc.
Each EA/NE region do not communicate with other EA regions to take advice and learn. They may have good intensions regarding the Hampshire Avon which is a highly protected Chalk Stream River, but they carry on...
Worth reading Daves link again above...Canoe and boat Navigation etc is prime in the weirs removal as is the commercialism aspect...and not just the fish migration reasoning. Flood Defence fish, bird, wildfowl, bat, kingfisher and mammal etc habitat destruction, mass mechanical weed cutting...
Paul D..The EA contract/tender out the work and tell them what to do...The same with Dredging etc. It's destructive work the EA don't want to do themselves anymore, to where the blame and complaints would fall back on the themselves..ie: the EA and Natural England. Don't be fooled.
Thanks for...
Thanks Dave... your Idle pics will be appreciated. And thanks again Kevin. I have some pics sent of the Aire Graham..They are absolutely horrific in what they have done there and the aire and calder navigation.
Interesting that the EA have hired/contracted AMEY to chop down the trees in that...
