Greenpeace responds to Labour coastal sewage analysis

Responding to Labour’s coastal sewage analysis, Greenpeace UK’s Political Campaigner, Megan Corton Scott, said:

“This government has seen four Environment Secretaries, but none of them have stopped sewage being pumped into our waters.

“What’s happening to our coastlines is a direct consequence of a deregulation agenda that’s making Britain’s beaches unfit for bathing, with swimmers becoming sick up and down the country.

“Voters can make judgements about how this sewage crisis was created, but no political party can be a proper champion of decent water quality without ambitious targets for clean up, and proper funding and power for our regulators.”
