End the sewage pollution scandal

An incredible 300,000 of you have signed our People Before Payouts petition – THANK YOU!

This is people power in action; demonstrating the weight of public anger that’s on our side to end the broken water industry’s polluting ways.

But we don’t want this momentum to end here. Because public anger will not go away until the government delivers the bold, systemic change needed to end the sewage scandal. We refuse to let sewage spills, rising bills and ecosystem collapse continue any longer.

So, we want to make this our biggest petition yet. If you can share this petition with just one person you think might not have seen it, we could get half a million voices behind us to demand the government puts public health before shareholder payouts.

By signing this petition, you’re joining a movement of ocean activists demanding a better future, where people and nature thrives. Thanks for being a part of it.

Tomorrow, we’ll be taking your voices directly into a meeting with Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds - and we need one final push before we walk into that room.

More than 270,000 people have already signed this petition demanding an end to pollution for profit. Help us get to HALF A MILLION signatures - a number this government has to take seriously.

👉 Share the petition now with your friends, family, group chats and communities!

Thousands of you joined Paddle-Out Protests across the UK on Saturday, generating huge national media attention and piling pressure on politicians to act on sewage pollution. Thank you!

This movement is growing because people across the country are standing together and demanding real reform. If everyone reading this gets just one more person to sign, we can make that pressure impossible to ignore.

We’ve hit over 250,000 signatures on our petition. And the government are listening. Now we need half a million voices behind us to end the sewage scandal.

We’ve just been invited to meet with the Environment Secretary, Emma Reynolds, on Wednesday. We will be taking your voices directly into that room. But we want to make our voices even harder to ignore.

If everyone who signs this petition also shares it with one friend, we will reach half a million signatures. Now that’s a mandate Kier Starmer can’t ignore.

This is our moment. The Clean Water Bill is heading to Parliament this year. But it risks locking us into the same broken privatised system that has allowed pollution for profit to thrive for decades. This is our chance to get real reform.

Can you help us hit our target and keep the pressure on ahead of the Water Bill?
Share the petition today. And join our Paddle-Out Protests tomorrow! https://www.sas.org.uk/water-quality/our-water-quality-campaigns/paddleoutprotest/
