Re: The Sewage (Inland Waters) Bill.

I know this sounds a dry subject, if you will excuse the pun, but it is important for all our rivers that feed into the harbours surrounding The Solent and for The Solent itself.

Given the appalling record of Southern Water over recent years of excessive pollution incidents discharging diluted raw sewage into our rivers and estuaries, Solent Protection Society, through its council members and its members, is urging our local MPs to support this bill at its second reading this month.

We are pleased to say Bob Seely has indicated that he will support the bill but if members of the public want to write in support then please do so.
