The Conservatives made it mandatory for water companies to monitor water quality and once the new data was published, we took tough action. That’s why £180m has been fast-tracked to stop 8,000+ sewage spills this year. The funding will be invested in AI to manage storm loads, invest in early intervention technologies & to train specialist staff. I’m a longstanding volunteer to protect biodiversity and water quality and if selected here, I'd use my experience to work closely with Yorkshire Water and local groups to improve the River Aire catchment.
