As part of a parliamentary national campaign briefing event held at the Palace of Westminster on 17 March, Jess Brown-Fuller met with Mike Owens of Hayling Sewage Watch (HSW) and Libby Alexander of Save Our South Coast Alliance (SOSCA).

The meeting focused on the need for more coordinated, joined-up regulation to address ongoing environmental concerns, and on ensuring the Government takes decisive action in tackling sewage pollution associated with Southern Water and the wider water industry.

Jess Brown-Fuller MP is a particularly well-informed and engaged advocate on this issue, having worked closely with HSW and SOSCA since her election. She has been consistently active in supporting efforts to improve water quality and regulatory accountability. Following the recent Dirty Business broadcast by Channel 4, she reiterated her commitment to continuing engagement with local campaign groups and to pressing for meaningful action on sewage pollution.

Jess Brown-Fuller says
“It was great to meet with HSW and SOSCA in Parliament this week. Their campaigning and commitment to standing up against the water industry on behalf of local residents is vital.

I have been clear since my election that the terrible service provided by water companies must end, whether its sky-high bills, sewage dumping in our rivers and seas, or enormous executive bonuses. The government must fundamentally address these issues in the upcoming Water Reform Bill, something I will continue to campaign for in Westminster.”
