Sewage spills continue as water bosses remain unaccountable
As Ofwat remains toothless, water companies continue to pollute the UK indiscriminately.
This Writer was on a hospital run across two counties yesterday, and I crossed several rivers on the journey. It was a warm day and the smell of sewage near those waterways was almost enough to stun me, let alone harm wildlife living nearby.
Here are the latest updates, courtesy of pop star turned environmental campaigner Feargal Sharkey:
"The assessment found that the pumping station was spilling in dry weather in breach of its permit."
Yea but what are you going to do about it. The @EnvAgency demonstrating yet once again that they are incapable of regulating the water industry.https://t.co/3QbiqPIc3B

"Talking shit".
"How sewage-strewn beaches became Britain’s new election battleground".
And apparently @IoWBobSeely thinks you're all nothing but "fringe activists". "Activists", maybe but ones that are going to help gov lose the next election. https://t.co/h9rJbB8tGQ

"Severn Trent slated for ‘continuous’ sewage spills and ‘shoving away’ plans to stop discharges."
"A councillor said Severn Trent’s promises of improvements are put into a 'dark filing cabinet' and the company doesn’t know 'what’s going on out here'."https://t.co/W8e3iu4vCo
