Life & Times

Did you know that raw sewage is being dumped into English waterways the equivalent of 800 times a day?

Water companies treat our blue spaces like an open sewer. Meanwhile government and regulators continue to turn a blind eye. This needs to stop.

If you’re like me and agree that PM Rishi Sunak should take action to stop sewage pollution in UK rivers and beaches, please add your name to the Greenpeace petition.
