@CleanIlkley @PFreeNWLeeds @WaterUK @AnglianWater @YorkshireWater I was in ilkley last month and incredibly disappointed to see the poor water rating for one of our few inland designated bathing areas. I keep thinking it's still so difficult to ge5 these companies to comply to the most basic rules

@Feargal_Sharkey this was in Scarborough last week. electrical failure caused the CSO to discharge untreated sewage for 40 hours onto a surfing beach on a bank holiday weekend. totally unacceptable

And all of that absolutely, 100%, totally illegal.

No doubt the Environment Agency will be issuing a warrant for the arrest of the CEO and board first thing this morning.

"'River of raw sewage' pours down UK street with 'biohazard' faeces flooding road and path."

First it was Horbury in Yorkshire, then Margate in Kent, now Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, is there a single stretch of the sewage system anywhere in the country operating as expected?

Yet more corruption exposed.

In 2024 98%, yes 98% of all serious water company pollution incidents got downgrade by the Environment Agency to minor.

Time to end the charade, to call an end to the farce. Time for public ownership.

@SOSWhitstable only after they clean up their mess. they've profited for decades, now it's payback

[BENEATH BRITISH WATERS Our Freshwater Planet @UnderwaterMedia]

According to YW sewage map, discharge started at 9.09am finished at 9.38am. Started again at 09.49 finished at 10.12am. Footage taken at 10.40am. Still discharging at 11am today. Welcome to England's rivers.

Holy crap @gilesbristow I missed this when I came out. Poor old Aggie. #endsewagepollution

[Sir Michael Take CBE @MichaelTakeMP]

Delighted to see that The Daily Mail has had the good sense to quote me regarding the government’s sensible idea to disperse sewage in coastal waters in a safe manner whilst beaches are empty.
The Daily Mail continues to be an example of rigorous & well researched journalism.👍

@Feargal_Sharkey @dan_grennan I'm still unemployed because the beach where I run my surf school is polluted. Yorkshire water really don't seem to care at all

@ClippoSteve @LWTWildNews @lincsbirders @BTO_Lincs Does anyone know if the starlings are murmurating at far ungs this year?

[Steve Crawford @paddle_it]

This is the s#it we are up against

[SOS Whitstable @SOSWhitstable]

"Top-rated UK water firms dumped 1,374 illegal spills into rivers"

And these two firms were given the highest possible rating by the @EnvAgency, demonstrating what an utter farce that particular grading system is.

Bude river surfing. Making the most of the giant swell and big tides to surf up the river in Bude back a while. Some top skills negotiating the bridge!
