Recent work undertaken by Save Windermere has once again highlighted the EA failing to hold United Utilities accountable. 

Esthwaite lodge pumping station, which discharges into a Site of Special Scientific Interest, has no event duration monitor on the outflow so the Agency has no idea how much sewage is being spilled into the lake.

The EA says they are reviewing the permits for Windermere, but what are they going to do about the ecological damage already done? Moreover, how can we now trust them to put permits in place that are fit for purpose, when the old ones have been shown to be woefully inadequate to protect Windermere and its rivers.

This is why we are calling for a public inquiry. The regulator is failing and we need to know why.
