MP hails ‘fantastic victory’ as Government pledges to make Windermere sewage-free
10 Mar 2025
Commenting on this morning’s announcement from the Government setting out their plan to end sewage discharges into Windermere, local MP Tim Farron said:
“This is a fantastic victory for the long running campaign to clean up our beautiful Windermere lake.
“For too long firms like United Utilities have been destroying lakes and rivers with filthy sewage dumping - hitting human health, harming our precious environment and damaging the local tourism economy.
“Enough is enough. The Liberal Democrats will continue to hold the ministers’ feet to the fire to make sure they honour their promise and protect Windermere.“
