"It is how I see the world and I can portray it, get it out there and put my thoughts on canvas," he says.

Dr Dangerfield added "doing nothing" was not an option and the group was "desperate to see the river and estuary in recovery".The River Deben flows for nearly 25 miles from its source near Debenham, past Woodbridge and

and out to sea at Felixstowe Ferry.It is internationally recognised as asite due to its importance to birds and habitats and is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI), giving it legal protection.

Dr Dangerfield said a "wide range of other factors" affected the river included:"If we take transformative action and really pull together [it can be pulled back from the brink]," she said.

"We want to see action and people in our communities, landowners, local businesses coming together."

Anglian Water said it had already begun to remove phosphates and E. coli from the water while the ESCP hoped to install a buffer along the riverbanks to prevent further pollution.Those are parts of the Scottish government’s record that the SNP is putting close to the heart of its election campaign, even though this is a Westminster race.

The commitments in the manifesto meanwhile are more about what the SNP will pressure UK ministers to do than what they can deliver themselves.They want to see maternity pay increase to 100% of average weekly earnings for the first 12 weeks of leave for new mums. Thereafter it would be set at either 90%, or at the statutory minimum allowance - currently £184 per week - for 40 weeks, whichever is lower.

Confusingly the manifesto says £150, but politicians say that’s a mistake and there will be no cut - the current payment is a baseline they would not fall below.And they want shared parental leave to increase from 52 weeks to 64 weeks - with the extra 12 weeks targeted specifically at dads on a “use or lose it” basis.
