If you are in their constituency it may be worth asking them why and then persisting if they give you inaccurate flannel.

Interestingly they all have one thing in common. Can you guess what it is?

For more info on its impact and how we have become known as ‘Sewage Island:

The pandemic has not been the only crisis we’ve been wading through over the past 12 months: 2020 was a banner year in much of Britain for sewage spills. Last July a Guardian investigation revealed that raw sewage had been pumped into English rivers via storm overflows more than 200,000 times in 2019. In November, Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) published data showing that untreated wastewater was discharged on to English and Welsh beaches on 2,900 occasions in a year.
