Wave 1
📆 28th January 2023
Dirty Water was launched with the highly successful Blue Plaque actions, where local groups across the country 'celebrated' the failure of their MPs to vote to protext our rivers and force water companies to reduce sewage discharge.
Blue plaque actions are easy and effective. You can do a blue plaque action any time!
