Raw sewage from new homes being flushed into London rivers Raw sewage is being dumped into London's rivers from at least 100 homes, a charity finds.

We exposed a similar problem in West and North London a year ago.

Diligent research by our trustee Ben Morris of @brentpollution.bsky.social and our friends at @friendsrivcrane.bsky.social found 100 homes discharging sewage into rivers.

‘The new narcotics’: how waste crime is causing environmental disaster across the UK Organised criminals face few repercussions for dumping toxic rubbish as Environment Agency struggles to keep up

The Brent. A London River.

The paragraph that jumps out says there is no enforcement of planning conditions of any kind. Does the government not wish to take control of building regulations? We see brand new developments discharging sewage directly into rivers, because inspectors don’t inspect and enforcers don’t enforce.

Great to meet you, Jenny, and Thanks to @thames21.bsky.social for a brilliant day of exchange and encounter among river action groups.

Watch our little film about the Brent, its beauty, and our battle to defend it from a host of man-made troubles. @thames21.bsky.social @friendsofthethames.bsky.social @brentriverpark.bsky.social @riveractionuk.bsky.social @thatvetsean.bsky.social
