End routine sewage discharges into our river

Petition text

Last year storm overflows discharged into this river for more than 2,100 hours. Local swimming clubs have stopped using it, anglers report dead stretches, and residents are told the water is safe with no testing to back it up. We are calling on the Environment Agency to publish real-time discharge data for every overflow on this catchment, to enforce existing permits with meaningful fines, and to set a binding date for ending routine discharges. Clean water is not a luxury.
