MP speaks out for chalk streams

  • Tweet
Wednesday, 2 June, 2021

Speaking in the Environment Bill debate on Wednesday, North East Herts MP Oliver Heald highlighted that in our area there are a lot of chalk streams and that for our population the objectives the Government have agreed on - such as not having sewage overflows into the streams and treating low flows as damage that has to be restored - are incredibly valuable.

Commenting Oliver Heald said “We have 8 chalk streams in NEHertfordshire, from the River Ivel down to the River Lea. I welcome these measures to ensure that low flows and sewage overflow are tackled as a matter of urgency. The Government has also published its Restoration Plan for chalk streams, which is out for consultation now and can be accessed at the Catchment Based Approach website.

Ends.
