Petition Action

Make it a criminal offence and outlaw the dumping of raw sewage in rivers

Petition Details

The government must make it illegal for water companies to dump raw sewage in our rivers. It should be a crime to allow such destructive use of our water ways by these commercial enterprises.

Additional Information

The government urgently needs to pass a law to stop immediately the dumping of raw sewage in our waterways. It’s destructive to nature and our beautiful countryside. It’s wrong on so many levels and a violation of government duties to be allowing this to go on.
