Water companies discharged raw sewage into British rivers 370,000 times last year.
•New Brighton Beach, Wirral - United UtilitiesNic Bury, professor of environmental toxicology at the University of Suffolk, is running a project looking at E. coli counts in rivers. A sample he took in Manningtree showed an E. coli count of 1000cfu/100ml. The threshold for good bathing water is less than 500cfu/100ml.
He said: "The situation is quite bad. Every time I sample in the river I'm shocked about the lack of biodiversity so I'm very concerned about it."Lots of children who enjoy swimming in the River Stour got involved in the Manningtree protestCampaigner Anna Helm Baxter organised the Manningtree protest amid concerns about sewage in the River Stour
Campaigner Anna Helm Baxter, who organised the Manningtree protest, said the situation was "completely unacceptable". "It's essential to keep up the pressure on the water companies and the government, who need to not only create stronger policies, and shorter timelines, but also make sure that they enforce their own rules," she added.
