00:00The aim of the group is to give the river a voice. We want to be a positive force for
00:09good. We want to be evidence-based. We want to be using reliable science, expert knowledge.
00:20We need more investment, more separation of the rainwater from the foul sewage and to
00:27improve these systems. But it will take time. But we will and must keep the pressure on
00:33them. It is outrageous that the Environment Agency don't test outside of the summer. It's
00:39just not acceptable. So we have to keep pressure on there as well and I'll be taking that back
00:45to the Environment Agency too. So thank you and thank you for all the volunteers, all
00:50the friends of the team for everything that you're doing. Keep the pressure on. I'll do
00:54my bit and keep pressure on as well and together we can make a difference. Thank you.
