“WINDERMERE and Bowness Town Council gave their 'unanimous' support for any project or initiative stopping all sewage discharges into England's largest lake.
Sally Parkyn, the clerk for the council, said that they particularly welcomed the 'Lake Annecy solution' proposed by water company United Utilities in an email to customers on November 30.
Lake Annecy in France saw a huge project in the 1960s-70s to re-route sewage discharges away from the beauty spot, which is a solution campaigners such as Matt Staniek from Save Windermere have called for in the last year. They argue that like Lake Annecy, Windermere has too much of a cultural and environmental significance not to be treated as a different case to other bodies of water.”
