Possible scam

I received this 'spoof' email, which did not come from me (although it claims to have been from me).  If your receive anything like this, please either report it as a scam or just delete it.  Please do NOT click on the link under any circumstances.

------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I identified this as a spoof because:

There are spelling mistakes such as sever instead of server

My email address is never shown with a capital A for andrew

My email address is a POP3 account, not IMAP(SSL) 

There is hidden text within the message, only revealed by checking it in, for eample MS Word.  This hidden text includes 'sent from my iphone' and I don't have an iphone.

There is no such thing as a boatshare4u.co.uk account team

Keeping the right to environmental information on waterways

You've probably heard that the government is planning to repeal any European regulations at the end of the year unless they are specifically retained.

Amongst these are the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

In 2015, Fish Legal won a landmark case that secured the public’s right to obtain environmental information from privatised water companies under the EIR 2004. If the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill is enacted these regulations will be repealed, unless the Government preserves them.


If the regulations are repealed, the public's right to obtain environmental information directly from privatised water companies disappears too. Privatised water companies, most of which are owned by foreign investors, could go back to polluting and abstracting water from our rivers without public scrutiny. 

If you want the Government to guarantee the public’s right to environmental information held by these companies, then please add your name to the parliamentary petition here.
