The aim of Stop Ure Pollution is to protect the River Ure and its tributaries for recreation and wildlife.
This will be achieved by:
• Stopping the discharges of raw sewage when storm conditions are not occurring, upgrading water treatment facilities, and identifying pollution caused by run-off from farms.
• Setting up and managing an ongoing Citizen Science project and training members to test and report on water quality at various agreed points along the River Ure.
• Obtaining Designated Bathing Water Status (DBWS) for at least one section of the River Ure.
