Of you see dumped e-bikes and scooters in London waterways and they are from any of these brands. There is a process to report them. Please share widely.

🚨 Shocking, but not surprising.
The latest @envagency figures confirm what communities across the country already know: our rivers are still being failed.
Despite years of promises, our waterways remain polluted by sewage and agricultural runoff. This isn't inevitable - it's the result of political choices, weak regulation and a system that has allowed some of our biggest polluters to put profit before nature.
The upcoming Clean Water Bill is the Government's chance to change course:
💧 End pollution for profit.
🌿 Crack down on agricultural pollution.
⚖️ Hold polluters to account.
🐟 Put public health and nature before private interests.

Freshwater. A truly unbelievable environment, I have been fortunate enough to spend the best part of my life in filming. Even as I write this, so many are still unaware of this fascinating environment on their doorstep. This needs to change
