They all need investigation to see if they or any friends and family have financial links with these companies as well as I can see no justification for voting to allow it to happen.

Many years ago, it was suggested that M.P.'s ought to wear snooker style sponsorship badges to give the public an immediate and direct idea of which companies they have an interest in... I can't think why this wouldn't ever happen...

Therese Coffey is a Suffolk MP, and has photoshoots around Woodbridge, Melton and the Deben and Orwell estuaries. I think almost every one gets doctored and turned into a meme.
The Orwell estuary is disgusting, the River Gipping flowing into it also has severe problems that Tom Hunt highlighted in the local papers/media, then votes to continue to allow sewage to go into our rivers.
The Deben estuary is not much better.

This is far from being a new issue..I'm sure you remember, or know of Boss Hall Industrial Est in Ipswich. When I was fishing here regularly in the mid/late 80's the sewer outfall here always dishcharged grey effluent directly after heavy rain. It was beyond vile. The same applied to Riverside rd a little further downstream.

It's no better now, still get condoms and towels floating down the river. Sproughton sewage works just downstream from the pumping station still let's out crap in the literal sense of the word.
I'd love to fish the river again, but I'm actually wary of what I'd catch, and that's not likely to be chub or carp!

Nice that Therese gives her useless input after voting to allow the pollution in this and other rivers.
Very concerning times for our waterways

Well done Fergal Sharkey. Speaking out again on BBC breakfast. Langstone harbour. Disgraceful 
And so it goes on...

Don't rely on the EA; too busy virtue signalling with the alphabet flag on their logo.

If you care about the crisis of sewage in our rivers and seas, you might know that the new Environment Secretary Steve Barclay is now in charge of sorting this out.
But did you know that he's married to Karen Barclay, who is the Head of Regional Engagement at Anglian Water (and was previously Head of Public Affairs)?
Anglian Water is one of the privatised English water companies, providing nearly seven million people with water and owned by a Canadian pension fund, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund and asset managers in Australia.
Anglian Water is currently under investigation by both Ofwat and the Environment Agency for illegal sewage dumping. It's the worst company for self-reporting pollution. It has killed 5000 fish while using sewage pumps that were nearly 40 years old. It's tipped untreated sewage into the North Sea. And last year the company's TV advert was banned for being misleading about its pollution record.
Since privatisation, Anglian Water has racked up £6.6 billion in debt, paid for by its customers. Last year it gave out £92 million to shareholders despite hiking bills AND its CEO got a pay rise from £1.3 million to £1.4 million because of his ‘good performance'.
We need an Environment Secretary who will take this company into public ownership as a matter of priority, so it can work for people and planet, not profit.
Steve Barclay is going home to an Anglian Water boss every day, so he cannot do a good job of standing up for the people, the rivers and the seas of the East of England. Please share this blog and our video if you agree.
