UK government launches £11m Water Restoration Fund using fines on water companies to improve waterways and wetlands.

The UK government has launched the £11 million Water Restoration Fund, which will use fines imposed on water companies for environmental breaches such as sewage dumping to improve waterways and wetlands. The fund will offer grants to local groups, charities, farmers, and landowners to enhance rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands, and access to nature in areas affected by illegal pollution. This initiative aims to support community-led projects vital in improving and maintaining water quality across the country.
