New pledge on sewage slammed as 'PR spin'

|July 20, 2025
CAMPAIGNERS have blasted the Environment Secretary’s pledge to cut sewage pollution from water companies in half by 2030.
Steve Reed will announce the goal today, with the Government saying it marks the first time ministers have set a clear target on reducing sewage pollution to which they will be held accountable.
But Giles Bristow, chief executive of Surfers Against Sewage, said: “If ministers believe rehashed pledges and PR spin will silence the roar for real reform of our failing water sector, they’re sorely mistaken.
“There’s no commitment here to overhaul the profit-driven system responsible for the sewage crisis — even slashing pollution by 50% still means 200,000 raw-sewage spills a year by 2030.
