A clear message to clean up rivers, lakes and seas
The Chester Chronicle
|May 22, 2025
PEOPLE in Chester joined thousands of protestors across the UK who took part in mass ‘Paddle Out’ protests, calling for urgent reform of the UK water industry amid growing public outrage over raw sewage discharges into rivers, lakes, and seas.
-
At more than 40 locations from coastal beaches to inland rivers campaigners rallied with surfboards, placards, and paddle boards as part of a co-ordinated national campaign led by environmental charity Surfers Against Sewage (SAS).
Saturday's wave of protests comes in response to a deepening environmental scandal: in 2024 alone, over half a million raw sewage discharges were reported across UK waterways.
In Chester, local water users and campaigners gathered at Sandy Lane for a community-led protest organised by a core team: Adam Caris, Dianne Parrish, Barry Johnston, and Helen Tandy.
