The River Severn is more than just a body of water winding through our town. It is the lifeblood of our community, landscape, and culture. It weaves through vital natural habitats, supporting a diverse array of wildlife.

Yet like many UK rivers, the Severn is being polluted by industry, making it harmful to people and the natural environment. The main causes are sewage spills, agricultural run-off, forever chemicals, and many more. 

This is why it is imperative to adopt the Rights for Rivers Charter, an initiative that provides legal rights and recognition for rivers - to grant the Severn the right to flow, regenerate, and fulfil its natural role without being damaged in the name of business shareholder profits. 

Supporting the Rights for Rivers Charter means safeguarding the natural beauty and resources of the Severn in our area. To protect it for us and future generations to enjoy.

Please sign the petition today and be part of the change to preserve our natural wonders.
