Activists demand Yorkshire Water clean up sewage-polluted river
Activists from Calderdale Extinction Rebellion protesting on the historic Old Packhorse Bridge in Hebden Bridge

ENVIRONMENT campaigners protested at a sewage treatment plant today over privateer Yorkshire Water’s pollution of a Pennine river.

They demanded that the company “stop paying huge bonuses and dividends and use the money to clean up.”

The once healthy River Calder runs through the Calder Valley in the Yorkshire Pennines and is home to communities such as Todmorden and Hebden Bridge.
