I love living in Newhaven, it is a working port but it's also where people live, industry is fine, inadequately monitored industry is not!

"what really matters to our health is the air that we actually breathe throughout our day – not the air measured by a monitoring station on a road in the middle of nowhere" Air quality sensors paint a misleading picture and lead to poor policy decisions

The logic of our planning system where industrial processing companies in towns like Newhaven self monitor, we could have 15 incinerators or tarmac plants next to a AQMA but the air is still clean and healthy @CASHcampaigners @SussexBylines @cleanair
Not just water, our air is not being protected by @EnvAgency @DefraGovUK @Feargal_Sharkey @RachSalv @HugoSAS

@FMConwayltd operating within legal emission limits next to a AQMA being found in breach why are they + @VeoliaUK not independently monitored @EnvAgency doing their job? @RachSalv @SussexBylines @JamesMacCleary @brightonargus

Still waiting for Tory ministers to take meaningful action against water companies dumping sewage in our local rivers and seas. #Sewage #TorySewageParty 🔗 https://t.co/GXmBb1qrFx

‘We estimate that enough untreated sewage to fill over 3 Olympic swimming pools has been discharged since Christmas and it is putting people’s health at risk.’
The message to @SouthernWater today was simple #endsewagepollution now! Amazing work from all at SAS Brighton and the local community

@local_air @EnvAgency @FMConwayltd @brightonargus @newshaven @jamesm Obviously a change to the whole national planning framework needs to be overhauled, the long-term health of so many people living near industrial processing is clearly at risk.

Please remember @EnvAgency regulates our water but also the "air quality" in towns like Newhaven, companies like @FMConwayltd @brightonargus @newshaven @jamesm
Well said Matt. We should all stop talking to water companies about this stuff, it’s a charade. Demand that the @EnvAgency does what it was setup to do, defend our rivers.

"Five water firms risk big fines for ‘illegal’ sewage spills". Where is the @EnvAgency in all of this? https://t.co/BEazZsqSuJ

The water regulator has “serious concerns” over potential illegal sewage spills at the treatment works of five water companies. Ofwat, the water regulator, said

Excellent media coverage in this week’s edition of the @TheWeekInEditor. There is an excellent letter from @votedannorris, West of England Metro Mayor ‘Beware of greenwash’👇

@RachSalv The insidious nature of the cosy relationship between the water industry and its so called regulator which is now nothing more than a pollution facilitator. Independent inquiry long overdue.

It's already been hinted at by 1 EA employee low level reports often lead to the discovery of much bigger, more widespread, harmful pollution incidents. Here now is the proof. Time for change. Time to go.
Damning! Almost 1,500 of the most serious pollution events over the last five years were originally reported to be low impact. How does the Environment Agency square that with its policy to ignore reports of 'low impact' pollution? https://t.co/aqn1e0AKVI

It's obscene to use the word 'restoration' in this context it's nothing of the sort. It is simply enabling the behaviour of the water companies and ongoing failure of the @EnvAgency. Deal with flow and water quality, then you'll have a foundation, if not it's all greenwashing.
@Feargal_Sharkey this is being planned for the restoration of the River Stort, a neighbour of the Cam, and could be an example by @EnvAgency of how to unravel decades of abuse which has meant pollution and loss of biodiversity. We'll see... https://t.co/au8ZeYD0Ob

Hearing date set for Irish Cement Incinerator case #environment It is a mammoth task for an individual to take on such formidable opposition as EPA, Irish Cement, Minister Eamon Ryan & AG all together. Thanks @limerickpost for keeping people up to date #Limerick #Tipperary #Clare
Date set for Limerick woman's High Court challenge to incineration licence - https://t.co/08v4VhOPbS

@Feargal_Sharkey @SouthernWater @defra @Ofwat @EnvAgency Maybe we go for a national boycott on our water bills until there is public admission from water company CEO's & a transparent plan of action of how to rectify the situation presented by each regional water business.... they might do something then.

Appears @SouthernWater have offered a 50% discount to one of the Kent protesters who has been refusing to pay their water bill. Perhaps @Defra @Ofwat @EnvAgency can explain why exactly it is that members of the public are having to do their job for them?
BREAKING! Southern Water offers deal to payment boycotters over sewage dumping. Read & share: https://t.co/c72e0L7wfn
