A senior Tory has said property developers should be forced to pay for upgrades to sewer systems in a bid to reduce the dumping of raw sewage into the country’s waterways RichardVaughan1 and SerinaSandhu1 report:
Thames Water was allowing run-off from a major HS2 construction site spill into the River ColneThe issue of sewage being pumped into the UK’s water system has become an increasingly pressing political topic in certain parts of the country, with the Liberal Democrats saying it is causing serious ructions in the so-called Blue Wall of southern Tory seats.. “We are covering our leaflets with it. In places like Lewes it could swing the seat in our favour, it is that big a deal.
“These polluting firms pay their execs millions of pounds in bonuses all whilst destroying our precious rivers and lakes. The whole thing stinks,” Mr Farron told“This is a national environmental scandal which has to stop. A long-list of Conservative Environment Ministers have been all talk and no action on sewage. The Government should make these sewage discharges illegal and ban water company bonuses until the problem is solved.
Dr Richard Benwell, CEO of Wildlife & Countryside Link, said rivers were being “contaminated with a toxic mix of sewage, agricultural run-off, industrial pollutants and chemicals”.
