Thanks to ignoring eu regulations and happily swimming in those poop waters good luck …
>Their research found that while 64.2% of England’s bathing waters were rated excellent by the Environment Agency (EA) in 2024, 85.4% of the EU’s were excellent according to the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the same year
From the bar chart 21.1% are good for England. Oddly Scotland less excellent but more good. Wales looks to best overall
Looks like the suggestion of 5 times is based on the EU average of poor vs UK poor.
another amazing brexit benefit… the freedom to swim in our shite!!
I’m in Munich at the moment and have been making use of their outdoor natural swimming pool and diverted sections of a river. Guess I better enjoy it.
We need to get on top of this, it is essential that we have a clean ecosystem when it comes to the environment, otherwise everything else collapses around it, I’m not saying we need to turn into eco warriors or something, but we need to be really heavy-handed when it comes to regulation and enforcement of these things.
