Save our seas
UK Water Companies poured raw sewage into our seas and rivers 372,533 times – YES 372,533 TIMES – in the last year! It is not just a danger to public health but in an area like Thanet where tourism is a crucially important part of the economy it spell doom to businesses and livelihoods. It is a national scandal but Environment Secretary Therese Coffey is reportedly backing away from plans to hit water companies with fines of up to £250 million for spilling sewage into rivers and seas.
