Matt Rodda Labour MP for Reading Central
I was horrified by reports that sewage is being routinely discharged into Foudry Brook, to the South of Reading. The brook flows into the River Kennet which runs through Reading. Read my latest letter to the CEO of Thames Water below
Discharging sewage into Foudry Brook poses a public health risk and causes damage to the natural environment, including to the Pamber Nature Reserve.
Proposals set out by the Government and Thames Water do not go far enough in addressing this problem, as neither would eliminate sewage dumping entirely and sufficiently reduce the immediate damage to our waterways
