Footage we took in Hampton, Herne Bay, last night 🤢

'Six companies who missed a deadline to produce real-time maps of spills have quietly released them now dry weather has returned'

Those maps could have helped people avoid getting sick. But water companies don't care about that, only their PR.

Great to see sporting bodies standing up against water pollution.

The water should be a life-enriching source of wellness for us all, not something that poses a genuine health risk.
