HIoWT has launched a campaign to get more protection for chalk streams. We have a few of these in the Loddon catchment and currently they received little protection considering how important they are as habitats. HIoWt is encouraging people to write to their MPs about the proposed National Planning Policy Framework. You can find background information at:

This includes a draft letter to send to MPs but it is best to tailor this to specific rivers or fisheries to make sure that your MP realises how this could affect the local area.
