Read full article

"A Cumbrian environmental campaigner has called for the Lake District to be stripped of its Unesco World Heritage Site status if raw sewage continues to be pumped into Windermere.

Matt Staniek began his campaigning for better water quality in Windermere after finding pollution in the place he has swam in since he was a boy. 

He has left his job and is living off savings in order to continue his work. 

After getting more than 100,000 people to sign a petition supporting him he's now been promised a meeting with the authorities involved."
