DJ Lee Durrant is set to broadcast 24 hours of Number 2 hits on a Lake District radio station, playing classics from artists like Take That and Stevie V, in an effort to raise awareness about sewage pollution in the area.
The move comes as concerns grow over the amount of untreated sewage being released into Britain's waterways. Windermere, one of England's largest lakes and a popular tourist destination, has been found to have high levels of bacteria from human waste throughout the summer.
Durrant's marathon broadcast will begin on November 14th at 8am, with guests joining him on-air, including campaigners for environmental groups and representatives from water companies. He is joined by local authorities in this battle against sewage pollution, a serious issue that risks human health and kills wildlife.
The radio station's event aims to make light of the situation with music and bring attention to an otherwise pressing problem. Durrant himself said he's excited but also daunted by the task ahead. "I'm sort of looking forward to it and sort of dreading it," he admitted, anticipating a low point around 3am when heavy rock might come in handy.
As the event approaches, experts warn that only 14% of England's rivers and lakes meet good ecological standards. So far, no clear solution has been put in place to tackle sewage pollution on a large scale.
Durrant is aiming for a more upbeat atmosphere by playing popular Number 2 hits throughout his broadcast. A bold move aimed at lifting spirits while sparking conversation about an important issue that affects many of us directly or indirectly.

! DJ Lee Durrant is like, totally on top of something here. I love the idea of using music to bring attention to a super serious issue like sewage pollution. Take That and Stevie V classics? Genius move! It's gonna be lit 
for 24 hours straight! And the guests he has lined up sound pretty interesting too 
. Local authorities, campaigners, and water company reps all getting together to talk about this... it's a win-win for awareness and vibes 
. Can't wait to tune in on November 14th at 8am! 
, this DJ Lee Durrant guy is literally doing what's needed right now... the music thingy is genius 
! I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned throwback playlist to lift our spirits? It's like, hey, let's talk about sewage pollution while jamming out to some awesome tunes 
, it's better than nothing, right? Let's keep our fingers crossed that something concrete comes out of this event 
.
its such a serious issue but at least he's trying to make it more approachable through music, like who wouldn't want to dance to take that or stevie v classics during their morning commute? 
Like, yeah, we get it, DJ Lee Durrant is trying to raise awareness about sewage pollution, but can't he just do it without pretending like a fun party? I mean, playing Take That and Stevie V all day isn't gonna magically solve the problem. And what's with the 24-hour broadcast? It's just gonna be a slog, especially at 3am when rock music supposedly comes to the rescue... 
I guess if you're into that sorta thing.
! like, who doesnt love take that and stevie v, right? 
... hopefully his broadcast will bring some awareness to the issue without making people wanna pull their hair out 
, on one hand, its kinda cool that DJ Lee Durrant is using his platform to bring attention to the sewage pollution issue in the Lake District 
? like, idk if i could handle it even with stevie v's classics
