End Sewage Pollution

Surfers Against Sewage

Decades of under­in­vest­ment, dereg­u­la­tion, and cor­po­rate mis­man­age­ment have left the UK’s water indus­try in cri­sis — sewage pol­lu­tion is ris­ing, enforce­ment is weak, and pub­lic trust is erod­ing. Despite ear­ly gains in water qual­i­ty, untreat­ed dis­charges remain widespread. 

Surfers Against Sewage will seize this once-in-a-gen­er­a­tion leg­isla­tive and polit­i­cal oppor­tu­ni­ty to dri­ve sys­temic reform. By com­bin­ing grass­roots mobi­liza­tion, cit­i­zen sci­ence, expert analy­sis, and high-impact advo­ca­cy, they will push for robust account­abil­i­ty, finan­cial trans­paren­cy, and demo­c­ra­t­ic gov­er­nance in the sec­tor. Key actions will include sup­port­ing empow­ered com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment, and hold­ing reg­u­la­tors and com­pa­nies to account, aimed to deliv­er last­ing change for clean­er rivers, lakes, and seas.
