Ban water companies discharging raw sewage into the sea

What the petition asks
The dumping of raw sewage around the British coastline Is an absolute disgrace. It’s 2022 not 1822. Nasty, unsightly and most of all a health risk to everyone using our coast. Politicians and water companies should hang their heads in shame.
Taxpayers are paying billions of pounds of hard earned money to utility companies who are then allowed to dump raw sewage. It’s a national disgrace and the Government must take action.
