Victory for common sense (for now, at least)…
It’s a relief that @EnvAgency have finally realised that prosecuting volunteers for cleaning & restoring a river (that they had left to rot) without permission was not a good look, so they have dropped their charges in favour of a ‘warning’. Thank you for all your support & encouragement, from across the country, the political spectrum & around the world. I’m certain that the comms disaster suffered by the EA over this was crucial in getting them to begin to see sense at last.
This is, however, not the end of the story. The River Roding & its tributaries, like most rivers in the UK have still been abandoned & in parts left to die by the Environment Agency, with no plans to even put a stop to the serious environmental crimes taking place (like illegal sewage dumping), let alone to begin the process of restoration that the river so desperately needs.
I am therefore seeking a meeting with the EA’s Chief Executive to ask (1) that the EA instead use its prosecuting powers for good, to demand a detailed plan from Thames Water to fix all illegal sewage discharges in years, not decades & (2) that the EA turns this whole saga into a good outcome by using the River Roding as a pilot scheme for how the EA can work with, rather than against, grassroots river guardians, to provide the protection & restoration our rivers so desperately need.
I hope they will accept these very reasonable requests. But if not, I will continue to defy the EA, & will not be seeking their permission or authorisation to continue to care for & restore the river I love.
The Environment Agency has dropped its threat to prosecute litter pickers over alleged environmental offences while clearing rubbish from a London River.
It comes after Channel 4 News recently exposed legal threats made to Paul Powlesland and other volunteers for undertaking clearance work without a permit.
The East Londoner claims he took action after authorities failed to clear rubbish from the River Roding.
While the Environment Agency said it won't pursue a prosecution, it has continued to warn against future rubbish clearing activities, something Mr Powlesland has said he will ignore unless he's given a meeting with the organisation's chief executive.

The concept of “hell” makes absolutely no sense. Why would the devil burn you for eternity for disobeying the same god he disobeyed?
