Liberal Democrats We've just helped protect your local waterways



<[link removed]>



John, after nearly 18 months of campaigning at every level across our party,
we Liberal Democrats have finally worn down the Government on sewage.

I have just tabled an amendment to the UK Infrastructure Bank Bill, which has
just been passed in the House of Commons, with the Government standing down
their opposition to our campaign.

The amendment ensures that the Government’s new Infrastructure Bank will not
invest in water companies unless they produce a costed and time-limited plan to
end sewage discharges into local rivers.

The prospect of taxpayers' funds going to water companies who are paying
their executives millions of pounds in bonuses, while permitting prolific
sewage discharges is scandalous.

Together, we have stopped this from happening.

This is a victory for millions of people across the country who have voiced
their outrage at water companies being allowed to get away with polluting
rivers, lakes and coastlines. As the only political party tackling this issue,
the Liberal Democrats have been their voice on this environmental scandal and
we will continue to champion their cause.

This has truly been a victory for our entire party. From grassroots activists
protesting on beaches and at riversides to local campaigners, councillors, MPs
and Peers tackling this matter on every level of Government. Our Parliamentary
staff and advisers have worked tirelessly to produce damning research and get
this amendment passed, and our Media and Digital teams have made sure our story
hit the headlines and our social media campaigns are seen by millions of people
across the country.

We have proved that when we work together, we can win together.

However, there is still a long way to go. The Government is still refusing to
ban sewage discharges into swimming water and areas where protected wildlife
live. And they are still refusing to ban water company CEO's rewarding
themselves with bonuses whilst this environmental scandal happens.

Will you join our campaign to Stop Sewage Dumping today, and help us continue
to fight for what we know is right?



Back our Campaign ➜ <[link removed]>
