*Natural Cambs Forum 14 Dec 2022 on Water Resources East regional plan *

See Q & A chat on the talks given by Daniel Johns, MD of Water Resources
East (WRE was set up by Anglian Water to plan for regional development),
and by Chris Gerrard, Anglian Water Catchment and Biodiversity Manager. Link
below.

https://www.fecra.org.uk/docs/Natural%20Cambridgeshire%20Partnership%20Forum%2014.pdf

Separate consultations about two new Anglian Water Reservoirs, one in Lincs
and the other in Fenland, Cambs, closed on 21 Dec. Most residents are
unaware that these new reservoirs are cited by WRE as being integral to the
regional plan about which they are currently consulting and to the high
level of employment led-growth proposed in Greater Cambs local plan.

River campaigner Feargal Sharkey has queried a briefing that a ' 60-70% cut
in abstraction, to achieve ‘normal flows’ has been requested by the
Environment Agency *but ‘cannot be mandated as Cambridge Water have a
licence and a contract to supply and presently have no large alternative
sources’[1]*

Feargal Sharkey: ‘The Environment Agency can already amend / revoke any
abstraction licence that is causing 'serious damage' to a rivers and* from
1 Jan 2028 will be able to do so where it is causing a river not to meet
'Good' ecological status and all without paying compensation to the water
company. **Facts matter.'*
