River Action Now: Clean Ilkley River Campaign
Guardians of the River: An Online Course Talk with Kathleen Roberts, Mark Wilkins
We discuss the Clean Ilkley River campaign, which led to a landmark ruling in the UK: the Ilkley is the first river in the UK to be granted official bathing status. However, dubious environmental policy, regulation and mismanagement means that the legal status of the river, and the enforcement of law, are two very different processes that do not always harmonise. How can we ensure legal protection of rivers in implemented in practice?

Clean Ilkley River Campaign Group is made up of a group of residents who were shocked at the way that raw sewage was being discharged into the river frequently, even in the summer months. Some of the members had logged this happening regularly since February 2014 but could find no way of stopping it.
