Three CSO releases that happened 10th February 2024, added to the Beachbouy app at the beginning of April...8 weeks to tell us they released. Appalling
Again @SouthernWater have waited 4 days to tell us in Ebourne they have released sewage. No alerts, no warning. Ebourne still showing as no releases on their lovely map, but when you look at the history (which they make hard to find) the truth is there. Why no warnings!?
So @SouthernWater decide to wait 14hrs to alert Eastbourne to a 3hr sewage release on a sunny day and during Airbourne! Only a few thousand people on the beach that will have been affected
@SOSWhitstable@SouthernWater They did this in Eastbourne alot at the end of last year. It's frustrating and means that they can slip some through unnoticed as not many pple even check the historical list of releases. I emailed SW I was told they have to "check" each release. Yet some do show instantly 🤔 ?!
@jackie_nh@Feargal_Sharkey@JoshBabarinde Hi, im no fan of SW but this was 2 days ago and wasn't a sewage release, it was a Pollution Risk Alert which the EA put out based on rain, tide and wind.
It needs to be clearer that this wasn't sewage (although it does say it in the article you've shared).
@CaroleLeathwood @EastbourneRadio @sewateruk I'm no fan at all of SW, but this was not due to a sewage release in EB today. It was the EA issuing a Pollution Risk Warning which is put out if there is heavy rain around high tide, which could cause run off from roads or fields. Its important to acknowledge the difference.
Rhodes is burning...What really matters is not that a Tourist playground burns, its the animals burned, wildlife lost and Nature destroyed...but out headlines talk of cancelled flights and holidays. If we think this is inconvenient..you wait to see the inconvenience of climate refugees, lack of food and water....floods, droughts and war....but lets just carry on leave that to our kids to deal with.
@EastbourneRadio @EnvAgency@EastbourneBC This is the link to the results. I check it weekly as a sea swimmer it's important to me:

Our seas are essential for life and yet are under threat from human activities. This #WorldOceansDay join us & make a pledge to reduce waste & reuse, buy less & repair, spend more time in nature & be mindful of your connection to it. Together we can do this #CleanerSeas 🩵🌊🦭🤙🏽
Reminder that @EastSussexCC and @EastbourneBC have, year after year, placed a higher value on car parking, than the safety of local children, cycling along the seafront. 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚴🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙
🔥I’m fired up to back @GoodLawProject’s legal challenge to force the government to take robust action on raw sewage dumping in the sea🌊💩
🎥Check out the video we made, together with cross-party MPs, to find out how you can make your voice heard too!
Where else would you see poo-shaped hats and poo-shaped 'awards' for “outstanding contribution to the amount of sewage currently in our seas”?

WANT TO HELP END THE SEWAGE SCANDAL?
Today @UKLabour will bring a vote in parliament to do just that. @JimfromOldham & I have sent a letter to Conservative MPs asking them to support that motion.
PSE contact your local MP, ask them to vote in favour of ending the sewage scandal
Sunday (30th) Eastbourne Sea Swimmers are protesting about the drop in water quality in Eastbourne & the impact this has on the environment. Pls share & join us!
