We have a large set of water quality data dating back to 2023 from multiple sites along the Waveney. I would like the chance to present this data and explore the implications of the results. As a member of this incredible team of skilled people, please join us to discuss: What are our next steps? Can we reorganise how we work to deliver measurable improvements in water quality on the River Waveney?  We know where the issues are being highlighted. What steps shall we take to address these issues? Please select a ticket so I know who can make it. Seeders and Dipper have invited us for drinks at the Dragon to follow!
