Windermere illegal sewage dumps: A complete scandal that can't go on

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the news that untreated sewage was illegally pumped into Lake Windermere, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson Tim Farron MP said:

“This is a scandal. We can't let them get away with this any longer.

“The public are rightly furious that their favourite local rivers and lakes are being spoiled while water company bosses accept huge bonuses.

“I hope Parliament accept my amendment today which could see water company bosses prosecuted for sewage pollution.

“Rishi Sunak and his government must finally take tough action to tackle sewage dumping now instead of cosying up with the big water company bosses.”
