Background
Our rivers and beaches are being heavily polluted by sewage. There is not appropriate monitoring. Warnings are not given that rivers and beaches are not safe to swim in. It is a public health risk and an environmental disaster with long lasting and serious implications. Water companies are discharging sewage and not being held to account. Self monitoring and reporting is ineffective. It is in the public interest that immediate action be taken and this must be debated in parliament.
