Ah, that’s why landowners only give us plebs access to about 3% of waterways in England…
They’re saving us from all the pollution!
Bought a wild swimming in the UK book for my partner for Christmas.
Might have to stay on the shelf for a few more years.
Are we aware of any other civilised country that does it?”
I always assumed that proper sewage treatment was like the minimum requirement for any modern society.
A lot of misinformation and misunderstanding around storm overflows, what they are and why they are there. Rather than buying into the media outrage, do some research on them and also what the leading cause of river pollution in the UK is, hint – it’s not the water companies.
This isn’t an easy problem to fix and it isn’t the fault of privatisation. It is the fault of a sewage system that is 100 years out of date. It is better to get the private sector to pay for fixing it.
Anybody that thinks nationalisation will fix this overnight without hundreds of billions of pounds investment is just wrong.

Privatisation really was a shite idea….
