Sir Charles Walker MP recently sent the letter below to his colleagues in the All Party Parliamentary Group for Chalk Streams seeking their support for an amendment to the Environment Bill that would strengthen the protection of chalk streams by widening the definition of environmental damage to include damage caused by low flows due to unsustainable abstraction.

Can I encourage any of you who care about chalk streams and who live in a constituency with a chalk stream in it, to write to your local MP and encourage them to support Sir Charles’ amendment?
