Pollution Alert: Storm sewage has been discharged from a sewer overflow in this location within the past 48 hours.


Remember Jupp just over two weeks ago

….In recent years, a spotlight has been shone on storm overflows and CSOs. Water tourism is booming across our region, including windsurfing in places such as Exmouth and Sidmouth in my constituency. However, there is another reason why people have finally started talking about the issue: the Conservative Government have put in place a plan to improve our water, giving us all an opportunity to hold water companies to account.
