Up to £11 million from water company fines will be reinvested in schemes to improve waterways and wetlands, the government has said. The Water Restoration Fund - which has now opened for applications - will offer grants to local groups, charities, farmers and landowners to help them improve rivers, lakes, streams and wetlands where illegal pollution has occurred.
Environment secretary Steve Barclay has said the government is 'taking tough action to ensure our regulators are well-equipped to hold those who pollute them to account'. 'Community-led projects are vital to improving and maintaining water quality across the country, and this fund will help build on that success,' he said.
