Teignmouth Blue Plaque Unveiling – Dirty Water Campaign
Saturday January 28, 2023 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
On Saturday 28th January Ocean Rebellion will be unveiling a blue plaque in Teignmouth to highlight the fact that Anne Marie Morris, the MP for the Newton Abbot constituency which includes Teignmouth, voted to block a law which would have placed a legal duty on water companies to reduce the discharge of raw sewage into our rivers, seas and waterways. Read more about it here.
This issue affects everyone – from water-focused groups such as wild swimmers, anglers, surfers, boaters, stand up paddle boarders, and kayakers; to nature groups including Wildlife Trusts, educational and organic businesses and concerned citizens.
