Since privatisation water companies have taken more than Β£85billion in dividend and piled up more than Β£60billion of debt. Yet all capital and operational costs are covered by bill payers. So why keep a privatised structure for a natural monopoly like water?

Why should our flora and fauna have their homes destroyed ! it makes more sense that we as a nation preserve our ancient woodlands, and areas that are unique like Penrhos! How many parts of the uk have trees meeting the shoreline, red squirrels , little egrets, mistle thrush , viola odorata in one area ? So why was penrhos sold like it was just a bit of wasteland? Why was planning given ? Oh right jobs… well in 15 yrs it hasn’t created a single job yet! But if we as a community buy Penrhos we could conserve,protect ,enhance and ensure penrhos was safe in perpetuity. Join our fight for Nature #SavePenrhos #AchubPenrhos πŸ“ΈShirley Blease

90% of countries in the world can own their water but not us. People in England want their water back. But the government is protecting private water profiteers. It’s time to give the public a say. @Feargal_Sharkey wants you stand up and be counted. Sign the petition: vist.ly/576px

In 2010, Andernach, Germany planted 101 varieties of tomatoes in the town center and told everyone to take whatever they wanted. It was so popular that they did it again, adding beans the next year. Over time, they added onions, fruit trees, lettuce, zucchini, berries, and herbs, all free to the public and maintained by the city. Andernach is now nicknamed the "edible city." And they're not alone. Philadelphia has been doing a version of this since 2007. The Philadelphia Orchard Project has helped establish 67 sites across the city with thousands of food-bearing trees. Baltimore is planting fruit trees on sidewalks. Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, and Asheville all have public urban orchards. A mature apple tree produces 400-500 pounds of fruit per year. A mature pear tree can produce for 75 years. Cities pride themselves on their tree cover. We've decided that trees are important, but we haven't fully decided those trees should feed people yet. Would you support urban fruit trees and vegetables in your city?

"Picturesque river polluted with sewage just 13 days after being given official bathing status." Yep the River Avon at Salisbury was designated as a bathing spot on 15th May and just 13 days later on the 28th the EA have to issue a pollution warning due to E. coli levels. What a shambles. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Up to 22 Swift nests were destroyed during demolition works carried out by Northeast Demolition UK on behalf of Hill Group and Clarion Housing. Conservationists have described this as a significant wildlife crime. Surrey Police had been warned that Swifts were actively nesting.

Holyhead is one such area, Penrhos benefits the local communities mental and physical wellbeing it’s free for all to enjoy . Until a multimillionaire decided he wanted to make it a holiday village and for some reason the local council agreed with him over their own constituents!

Supertrawlers Are Taking Antarctic Krill That Whales Depend On Due to the growth of factory fish farms, supertrawlers as long as football fields now work the same space as krill-eating whales It is completely unsustainable to empty the seas of krill so vital for our beleaguered wildlife #WakeUpWorld @CIWF_Global e360.yale.edu/features/antar…

Diolch /thank you @JanetFSMS
I have written to the Head of Planning on Isle of Anglesey County Council, and the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability, calling for the plans of the development of Penrhos Coastal Park to be urgently reviewed. We must protect our natural community assets.
