I need you to ask your MP to stop water pollution in the Lake District.

With the tireless work of my local MP, Tim Farron, the campaign is now in the form of an Early Day Motion (EDM) and has been submitted to Parliament.  This needs MPs to sign the EDM so it can be debated in the House of Commons and made into law. 

Why does this need you?

I need you to contact your local MP and tell them to help stop water pollution in the Lake District National Park. 

With the latest rejection of the amendments to the Environment Bill our lakes and rivers need your help more than ever. 

You can simply copy the message below, but it would be great if you can tell your MP why you care about the Lake District. Do you come here to swim or take part in water sports and are concerned about how this can impact your health? Do you visit to enjoy the beauty and wildlife of our National Park? Or do you just want to see an end to water pollution?

For those that have already signed and shared I am forever grateful but the message still needs to reach as far and wide as possible and most importantly land on the desks of those in power that can put an end to this.

Share with your friends, family and encourage them to write to their MPs. Please spread the word to help save Windermere.  

Here is the link to help you find your MP.

“To <your MP>,

I am writing to you to ask you to add your name to the Early Day Motion- Sewage pollution in our National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/59000

Windermere is becoming increasingly polluted and unless something is done now it will soon be ecologically dead. This will have severe impacts on people, businesses and wildlife. This is despite it being one of the most loved and used lakes in the Lake District and England's most iconic water. No water body in a National Park or AONB should be polluted like this. I implore you to add your name to the EDM to ensure the protection of our beautiful lakes, rivers and streams.

Yours Sincerely, 

…
