Chemical conundrum in the Cotswolds and watchdog’s farm pollution probe
Manage episode 451103109 series 3307803
Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, and take a forensic look at one of the deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.
This week, ENDS journalists look at:
- How residents in the UK’s most known PFAS-polluted place are working with lawyers to investigate a first of its kind legal claim
- Why the Office for Environmental Protection believes that water pollution rules for farmers in England “may be unlawful”
- And the news-in-brief: the lowdown on DEFRA’s assessment of the effectiveness of biodiversity net gain exemptions; why pesticide usage data must now be made available to the public; and the chair of the water commission's plan to “restore trust” in the sector.
In this week’s deep dive, we reveal how a market town in the Cotswolds has a PFAS problem, with high levels of the forever chemicals discovered near land earmarked for hundreds of new homes and a primary school.
