River Action to intervene in challenge to manure waste plan
TV presenter Chris Packham, British Olympian Imogen Grant and celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall join people taking part in the Clean Water march in central London, to demand tougher action on keeping Britain's rivers and seas clean, November 3, 2024

RIVER ACTION is to intervene in a legal challenge brought by the National Farmers Union (NFU) against tighter waste guidelines for manure, the charity announced yesterday.

The NFU is taking Herefordshire County Council to court over its local plan for minerals and waste.

The new rules require stricter management of manure from livestock and for agricultural developments to be “nutrient-neutral” to avoid pollution of the soil.
