More than 147 days' worth of raw sewage dumped in Merseyside water last year

New figures show that over 147 days' worth of raw sewage was dumped into Wallasey's waterways last year.

Analysis of Environment Agency data shows that in 2022, raw sewage was discharged in Wallasey for 3547 hours - the equivalent of a continuous flow running for almost 5 months of the year.

Raw sewage was dumped in Wallasey 666 times last year, roughly once every 13 hours, which the area's MP has labelled a damning indictment of the Tories' willingness to turn a blind eye to sewage polluting the places people live, work and holiday.
