A little while ago I wrote about the Our Rivers campaign – and I nominated the River Stour in Kent as both my favourite river (first kingfisher, masses of rivery memories) and I also nominated it as my candidate for most threatened.

Well here’s some positive news – the Environment Agency are planning action to tackle the phosphate pollution that makes part of the river a swirling mass of weed instead of the rich and varied chalk stream it should be.

There’s still time to vote for your favourite river and nominate your most threatened – and you can do that here.
