Press release
The jury's out on River Ouseburn futureOuseburn Citizens' Jury has taken place in the North East and will help inform the Environment Agency's future water management plans. ![]() The River Ouseburn An innovative project to involve communities in decisions about the future of their local river has taken place in the North East. The first of its kind in the country, Ouseburn Citizens’ Jury is made up of members of the public and looked at what a ‘thoroughly modern river’ should be. The jury, which took place at the end of January and was run by an independent facilitator on behalf of the Environment Agency, debated local issues, shared ideas and questioned environmental experts on all aspects of the water environment. The findings from the jury will help inform the Environment Agency’s future water management plans. And as a direct result of the project, the Environment Agency and Northumbrian Water are developing a potential bid to Ofwat’s Innovation Fund to help finance an innovative partnership led through education in the local area. ![]() The River Ouseburn Clean and plentiful waterCatherine Saxon, Area Director of the Environment Agency in the North East, said:
The Ouseburn jury listened to evidence from a broad range of environmental experts, including Northumbrian Water, Woolsington Parish Council, the National Farmers’ Union, Newcastle City Council and the Tyne Rivers’ Trust. The final six recommendations from the Ouseburn Citizens’ Jury include better education, appropriate and fair legislation and incentives for behaviour change, improved funding for improvements, more action to manage pollution, a co-ordinated partnership approach to changes, and a better balance between development and wildlife. Great way to connect with the communityRob Carr, from the Environment Agency in the North East, attended the jury. He said:
Mike Madine, Head of Wastewater Service Planning, Quality and Performance at Northumbrian Water, added:
Jury member Emily said she learned a lot during the experience, adding that she enjoyed ‘potentially making a difference to the local area’ and learning that ‘water is so much more than just for cleaning and drinking – there are many aspects of water that are overlooked’. Further citizens’ juries will take place elsewhere in the country up until the end of March.
