Really great to see Environment Minister @SteveReedMP again—this time in Windermere—to discuss @uklabour historic plan for our lake.
Now it’s time for ambition to turn into action as we look at how we deliver for Windermere and protect the nation’s lake for future generations to come.
We won’t stop until we have a sewage free Windermere. More from Save Windermere soon.
Visit to savewindermere.com/sewage-fr… to read our full statement from today.

It's #BookshopDay and around the country there are friendly passionate booksellers getting ready to open their doors and spread the love of reading by leaving you to quietly browse or, if needed, help you find the right book for the right person.
