CELEBRITIES urged Nando’s yesterday to take responsibility for its supply chain, warning that industrial chicken farms are killing Britain’s rivers.

A group of high-profile figures, including comedian Jo Brand, actor Joanna Lumley and television presenter Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, have written an open letter to the company, backed by environmental groups such as River Action and The Rivers Trust.

It highlights that the River Wye is on the brink of collapse, primarily due to waste from intensive chicken farming, and calls on the restaurant chain to implement a plan to protect Britain’s rivers in their sustainability policy.
