A £3.6bn proposal to halt sewage discharges into Windermere, England's largest lake and a Unesco World Heritage site, has been unveiled by United Utilities and clean water campaigners. The plan would build a 12-mile tunnel to transport sewage away from the lake, connecting 12,800 people to the network for the first time. The government must now decide whether to advance the project.
