Labour commits to ‘cleaning up’ Windermere

📢 Another major win for Save Windermere! 

Labour’s environment secretary, Steve Reed, has announced they will prioritise Windermere in their plan to clean up Britain’s waterways. This follows Keir Starmer's recent pledge to clean up our lake, marking a significant milestone for our campaign.

Whilst paying tribute to the Save Windermere campaign’s “tireless efforts”, the Labour Environment Secretary said: 

“If we do not act now, Lake Windermere could face a point of no return with drastic environmental and economic consequences. That is why the next Labour government will put water companies under special measures to clean up our water. We will prioritise cleaning up our most iconic sites like Windermere through stronger regulation and enforcement.”

This commitment is a testament to this community’s efforts. Windermere is now front and centre in the fight for clean water in this country. But we need more than promises — we need action to end the sewage pollution threatening England’s largest lake forever.

We will work with the next government, whichever party it may be, to ensure the future of our lake. The only way to protect our lake forever is to end the relentless sewage pollution from entering its waters once and for all. They must stop the £7 billion privatised monopoly from using Windermere as a dumping ground for their waste as they continue to profit from pollution at the expense of our environment.
