North Hants District Group Supper and Talk – Friday, 8th November 2024

Nick Walton of CPRE Hampshire presented an excellent and very informative talk, at Ellisfield Village Hall, to the Group’s members and their guests on Water – planning, development and our declining rivers.

The facts were a shock to most and highlighted a harsh reality about this very real situation caused by overbuilding and the knock-on demand for water. Diverse pollutants and pollution are an increasing threat to our drinking water and rivers. More needs to be done to protect our water and STOP this serious situation. Visit the CPRE Hampshire website to understand the work the Water Focus Group is doing with the authorities and others.

Attendees voiced their thanks for an excellent presentation and a very convivial evening.
