So, when I first saw this headline, I thought it was about the #UnitedStates making #EPA staffing cuts. Nope! It's the #UK! And this has been going on for a while now!
Thousands of #RiverPollution tests cancelled because of staff shortages
by Jonah Fisher, July 24, 2025
Excerpt: "Staffing problems are nothing new at the EA. In 2023 its chairman Alan Lovell told parliament that it had 'struggled with recruitment and retention of staff'.
"Internal emails obtained by campaign groups #Greenpeace and #Desmog through freedom of information requests were shared with the BBC. They show EA officials discussing the impact of staff departures on testing and saying that others planned to leave.
"One senior official, writing an email to her colleagues, said it was 'not good news I'm afraid' adding 'this isn't where we want to be (again)'.
"Helen Nightingale, who worked at the #EnvironmentAgency as a catchment planner, analysing data from its water quality programme until 2022, says that while she was there she saw a shift of focus away from serious investigation to trying to find 'successes'.
"She also said that morale was low: "The pay is not great – we didn't have pay rises for years due to #austerity.
" 'But a lot people are in it [the EA] because they want to make a difference – and when you're not even getting that - well, what's the point?'
"Documents seen by the BBC show that the work affected by the cuts to testing this year included investigations into the water industry in various parts of the country, and monitoring of #ProtectedAreas including the #RiverWye, which is currently facing a #pollution crisis linked to intensive #ChickenFarming."

Plans to tackle sewage problem in rivers
#pollution #riverpollution #satire #vegan #vegans #vegetarians
Thérèse Coffey (Minister for Pollution) has come up with a four point plan to deal with the sewage problem by tackling it at the source. The toilet tax is coming. Vegans are also part of the problem with their unnaturally firm turds.
"So. There are turds in the rivers. How big are these turds? Swim round them you lazy gits".

This article about a #Devon river being polluted by paint company owned by #AkzoNobel raises so many Q’s:
1. When a chemical is banned - who is responsible for ensuring remaining supplies are safely dealt with?
2. How many rusty old containers of banned chemicals are close to rivers/ports?
3. What official measures are taken to protect food chain after spill?
