END SEWAGE POLLUTION MID-THAMES

Founded in July 2020, we are a community-lead group campaigning against sewage pollution of our rivers.

We love our rivers: they’re part of our daily lives, and we all walk, play, socialise, swim, paddle, row or fish on or around them. They give us many benefits, and they’re home to numerous other species.

However, our local rivers are in a poor state. In 2020, raw sewage was released into the upper Thames for 50,000 hours.

We want to stop the practice of dumping raw sewage in rivers entirely, and make our rivers safe and healthy for people and wildlife again.

Through hard work and campaigning, we now have bathing water status for one stretch of the River Thames through Oxford. But there need to be more stretches protected and tested.

This will prevent sewage spills and improve water quality – and we need your help to make it happen.

We run events and meetings regularly. Please see our website or Facebook page for more details.
