Surfers Against Sewage accused the Environment Agency of ‘actively weakening’ environmental protections after claims it had changed its inspection regime
Surfers Against Sewage said polluting water companies were effectively being allowed to “mark their own homework”. In August, the regulator issued supplementary guidance to its officers on classifying the seriousness of bathing water pollution incidents, weakening inspections rules,According to the paper, officials have now been told that their usual presumption “that an impact has occurred” can be overturned if “appropriate information to demonstrate no impact has been provided by the water company.”
“In what world have these companies earnt the public’s trust when it comes to sewage pollution?” she said. “This is yet another example of the impact of the decimation of the now toothless Environment Agency and the kowtowing of the government to industry.”
