Putting pressure on the water industry to stop polluting our seas and rivers | Water quality news & updates
- Whitstable's bathing water is classified as 'excellent'. And here it was this morning.
00:00
00:5192% of England’s designated bathing sites are rated as good or excellent. We will continue to work with partners to ensure that we keep the sites clean for people and for nature. Check out the water quality at your local designated bathing sites: environment.data.gov.uk/bwq/profiles/ - We are concerned by the @Conservatives response to the ongoing sewage crisis and the manner in which they are trying to shape the narrative and rewrite history. A thread ⤵️
- Thank you to everybody who turned out today, all of our incredible guests and @EvolutionDrone for this incredible footage 😲 WHAT A TURNOUT! Are you you listening @SouthernWater? #EndSewagePollution
00:00 - Sewage overflowing onto the street in Margate. @SouthernWater say it was most likely a result of people putting "unflushable" items down the toilet. Gaslighting 101.
- A shocking video taken by @alexbenwell of Chichester Harbour on Sunday. According to the @SouthernWater website the release is still going, 32 days after it started, and Chichester MP @GillianKeegan still hasn't publicly rebuked SW for it 🤔
- 🚨 The sea has officially been barricaded 🚨 @SouthernWater, look how many people turned out to protest against you 👀
00:00 - Wow. What an afternoon. An amazing turnout. Thank you so much to @Feargal_Sharkey, @GreenJennyJones, @CatHobbs, @MrWhitstable and @chinasoulmusic for appearing. Also thank you to @ClonesCyclone and Paul Whitehouse for supporting us. Finally, thank you everyone who attended ♥️
- So far this month @SouthernWater have released sewage 493 times across their 86 bathing sites for a total 3709+ hours. That's nearly 5 months worth of sewage. It's only the 8th. What is being done about it? 🧵⤵️
- It seems that @SouthernWater have updated their BeachBouy interactive map. They will no longer change the colour of a bathing location to red if a sewage (CSO) release doesn't meet certain criteria. (1/5)
- £90m fine to @SouthernWater for the 'biggest environmental crimes in the history of the Environment Agency'. Damn right it's a crime scene!
- Whitstable Harbour this morning. Think that's just murky water? Wait until the camera pans round. Care to explain, @SouthernWater? 📽️ - @Hywel_Morgan
- "“If you have a young family, you're going to avoid anywhere with sewage. There’s no point going to the seaside because you can’t dip your feet in the water" Traders are fed up, after @SouthernWater released sewage over the dry bank holiday weekend 😡 kentonline.co.uk/herne-bay/news…
- Conservative MPs are gloating that they successfully undermined today's sewage vote with a 'niche piece of Commons procedure.' All they're doing is laughing in the faces of coastal and riverside communities to whom this is a devastating issue. Shameful.
