Most gardeners are very concious of the environment, so I make no apologies for this my report or rant. I was a boy in 1986 and can remember swimming in the seas off of Brighton and Hove. I never thought that we would be hearing companies apologising for spilling millions of tons of waste into our river systems and seas. These companies earn billions of pound for shareholders and yet to remedy the propblem they say could take until 2030 and incurr bigger bills. Bigger bills, we have already paid once. We need this fixing and we need it done NOW. God knows what harm our fagile ecosystem is facing year after year. 2030 will not do. Swimmers, surfers, wind surfers etc should not have to be confronted with waste. Or run the risk of serious medical problems. It is just not acceptable. The water watchdog need to grow some teeth and issue mouth watering fines to all these companies. And keep doing it until the rivers and seas are clean. If they can’t do it then they need replacing with an organisation made up of all interested parties and given the powers to hit these compamies where it hurts. We owe it to future children who want to enjoy the rivers and seas safely. Please write to your MP to register your displeasure.
