Surfers Against Sewage

🚨The King's Speech to Parliament has revealed plans that our new government will introduce a bill to strengthen the powers of the water regulators.🚨 We welcome this news, but will be watching closely that they deliver this and to a meaningful level, which holds polluting companies to account so we can end sewage pollution. #endsewagepollution #sickofsewage #sewage #saveourseas #saveourrivers #oceanactivists #riverpollution

🚨Ofwat, The water regulator for England and Wales is taking action against four more water companies, Severn Trent, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, Hafren Dyfrdwy and United Utilities.🚨 This means Ofwat is taking enforcement action against all 11 wastewater companies in England and Wales due to sewage pollution. 🚨The system is clearly broken🚨 📢We are calling for a full public enquiry, it is clear that we need root and branch change to end the sewage crisis once and for all. 📢 #endsewagepollution #sickofsewage #sewage #saveourseas #saveourrivers #oceanactivists #riverpollution

Today, Ofwat has signed off on us all swimming and surfing in sewage pollution beyond 2030 😡😡😡 The general election campaign made clear that we are all fed up with those in power turning a blind eye to the sewage scandal. Today's announcement, in which Ofwat signs off the continuation of at least 200,000 sewage discharges a year, is simply unacceptable and a sign that the regulator still doesn't comprehend the scale of our fury on this issue. 🚨The new Labour government must ensure this failure is the last whimper of a broken system and immediately call a public inquiry - something that our research shows is supported by 82% of the British public. 🚨 It's clear that our water industry is deep in the sewer. We think only a full public inquiry will help us understand how we got here and how we can dig our way out. #endsewagepollution #sickofsewage #sewage #saveourseas #saveourrivers #oceanactivists #riverpollution

📢WHAT WILL YOU PLEDGE FOR PLASTIC FREE JULY?📢 This year’s Plastic Free July campaign focuses on small changes each of us can make to reduce plastic waste. We’ve said it before, but small actions really do make a BIG difference. Every time we refuse to accept a plastic bag, or bring our refill coffee cup, we are driving change. Whichever single-use plastic you pledge to remove, you are having an impact. You can find out more here - https://lnkd.in/eskQtnW5
