Open petition: Hold a public inquiry into the handling of raw sewage by water companies

Created by Rebecca Newby
Closes on

We believe that the discharging of raw sewage into our rivers and seas needs to be thoroughly investigated and those responsible held to account. Many people are struggling to pay their water bills and, at the same time, have serious concerns about some historic and current practices.
