Those working in areas like water, waste or nuclear are encouraged to alert the Environment Agency to concerns of serious environmental wrongdoing.

The Environment Agency has launched a new portal for whistleblowers working in areas such as water, waste, nuclear and fishing

As well as water companies, people working in the waste, nuclear, fishing, agricultural, and chemical sectors can also use the portal to report concerns, especially if they feel unable to raise issues with their company directly. Alan Lovell, Environment Agency chairman, said: “We share the public’s disgust with sewage pollution and know there’s always more that can be done to protect our waterways.

Environment Secretary Steve Barclay said: “We have been clear we will not tolerate pollution and water companies need to act quickly to improve their environmental performance. Sewage from overflow pipes and processing plants can cause harm to wildlife and the health of beachgoers as well as affect tourism and leisure industries.
