1Good Law Project

Who are they?

Not-for-profit campaign organisation Good Law Project (GLP) brings about changes in legislation throughout the world to protect our environment and give more representation to marginalised groups in this area.

So, what have they done for us lately?

They are campaigning against the threat caused to the River Wye from a new farming development on the banks of the River Dore: a smaller stream that flows into the Wye. The expansion plans of Bage Court Farm in the village of Dorstone includes the construction of a giant new livestock shed. The increase in manure runoff generated by this development will see more ecological damage inflicted on the stream and, by extension, the River Wye.

To check the untreated sewage being dumped into the rivers, GLP has also joined with the Marine Conservation Society and activist Hugo Tagholm to demand urgent action. In August, however, the Government published the Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan, giving water companies until 2035 to reduce the amount of sewage discharge in the rivers.
