Thérèse Coffey accused of excluding environmental groups from Defra crisis meeting over saving River

2 years ago

Thérèse Coffey has been accused of excluding environmental groups from a crisis meeting on saving the River Wye on the day it was officially labelled as in decline. The “roundtable” organised by Defra brought together local and national politicians, farmers and the Welsh government, but several environmental groups that have been critical of the Government were not invited. The meeting, aimed at “improving the state of the Wye” came as Natural England downgraded most of the river and a major tributary, the Lugg, because of falling populations of Atlantic salmon, macrophytes and native white-clawed crayfish.
