Rejected petition Amend environment bill to stop sewage being pumped into rivers and seas

Rejected on 3 November 2021

Make an amendment to the environment bill to regulate the level of treatment required of sewage and prevent it simply being pumped into our rivers and seas. If this requires support from the government for water companies put this in place.

Britains rivers and seas and marine life are being threatened by the introduction of untreated sewage. This needs to be regulated and water companies required to treat and dispose of sewage in a responsible way. Sewage is entering the food chain!
