Report a Problem

Rivers and waterways are vital for wildlife, communities, and the environment. Reporting any problems you notice helps keep these habitats healthy and ensures they are protected for the future.

Flooding incidents

Blocked drains, riverbank damage, or other issues can increase the risk of local flooding. Reporting potential flooding hazards helps protect our communities and ecosystems.

Pollution incidents

Any unusual discharges or pollutants in rivers, such as chemicals, oils, or sewage, can have serious impacts on water quality and wildlife. Early reporting helps address problems quickly.

Invasive Non-Native Species

Invasive Non-native plants or animals can threaten native habitats and species. Noticing and reporting INNS sightings allows for early action to protect local ecosystems across the catchment.

Fly-tipping incidents

Illegal dumping of waste near rivers or public land can seriously harm wildlife, pollute waterways, and damage habitats. Report fly-tipping to help keep our catchment clean and safe.
