Huge increase in raw sewage released into UK waterways and sea, data reveals

Cliff Meadon, who runs canoeing and kayaking business Epic Life, and says he has lost"thousands" over the last two years due to sewage dumps.

"We've had to cancel sessions. We've been on the water with groups when we've had to come in as the sewage comes out. We've seen it," he said.Beaches in Normans Bay as well as Bexhill were closed but have now reopened.A spokesperson for Southern Water said:"This week's heavy rain has fallen on to dry ground that can't absorb surface run-off, meaning that more rain than usual has overwhelmed our network.

"This led to some overflows - which are used to protect homes, schools, businesses and hospitals from flooding - spilling excess water into the sea."We are dedicated to significantly reducing storm overflows and are running innovative pilot schemes across the region to reduce the amount of rainfall entering our combined sewers by 2030."for widespread pollution after pleading guilty to more than 6,000 unpermitted sewage discharges.

Now hold them accountable and all the Tory MP's who voted for them to do so, go on name and shame the Tory scum.

Percentage is over 100! What are you doing? 🥸

Shit eh?

Voted through by the Tories that allowed this to happen. TorySewageParty

Tory privatisation quite literally proving to be one big greedy shit show. Surely anyone with an ounce of common sense can see what this bunch of charlatans are about. They dont give a 💩 about you your health and wellbeing if it gets in the way of profit.

The next step is to blame the negative waterway effects of the sewage on the fertilizers used on crops and call for reductions in fertilizer use. Watch! The difference between conspiracy theory and fact is running at 6-12 months.

Those running these companies should face criminal charges otherwise nothing will improve.

The SoS for Health SteveBarclay voted to allow the dumping of sewage, a public health hazard, shameful.

Fantastic

Florida Man Who Died Possibly From Bacteria in Raw Oysters Also Had Drugs in System: Medical ExaminerA Florida man who died possibly from eating raw oysters last month also had a number of drugs in his system including cocaine and Fentanyl, a medical examiner’s report said.
