Essex beach closed after 'dead rats' and sewage found

There is still a ban on swimming at more than a mile of beach

www.essexlive.news

An Essex beach is still closed after 'dead rats' and sewage spilled into the area.

The beach was shut on Thursday, October 21, "for environmental reasons" after two days of flooding and sewage spillages.

Members of the public can’t access the stretch to more than a mile between Shoeburyness and Leigh-on-Sea, including Jubilee Beach.

The cause is thought to be a huge sinkhole at Southend Sewage Treatment Works, which has damaged the main sewer pipe to the facility.

Maybe they’re trying to put off desperate people in boats landing on beaches, cos they’ve been told they’re not allowed to drown them and the RNLI keep insisting on rescuing them

Given that urban doesn’t even bother with a separate thread for the Budget anymore I’ll leave this here. I’m not convinced that the Tories are trembling about Rachel Reeves response to the budget.

Not specifically on that amendment but:

Cutting sewage spills may be far cheaper than UK ministers predict, say experts

Figure of £150-660bn to cut raw sewage discharges into rivers was quoted by Tory MPs and environment minister

www.theguardian.com

But it is understood that in an analysis by the storm overflows taskforce, made up of the Environment Agency, the water industry and Ofwat, which is yet to be published, much more modest costings have been estimated for tackling the scourge of raw sewage discharges.

Sources say the figure of £660bn appears nowhere in the report. The Angling Trust said the report cites a range of lower-cost options for progressively dealing with the worst and most damaging sewage discharges ranging from £3.9bn to £62.7bn, with an impact on average water bills of between £19 and £58 a year.

It is also understood to estimate that an overall plan to reduce spills from storm overflows to an average of 10 a year in sensitive areas would cost between £13.5bn and £21.7bn.

Christine Colvin, from the Rivers Trust, said the huge range in the government’s figures – between £150bn and £650bn – indicated a low level of confidence in them.

She said the real costs could be substantially lower, and that tackling the scale of raw sewage pollution did not require complete separation of the sewerage systems, because some of the system actually worked already. “Nobody is proposing digging up our entire sewerage network and starting from scratch,” Colvin said.

“We know that nature based solutions are more difficult to cost, but in some places can be cheaper. They also bring multiple benefits – they help nature’s recovery, can provide new green and blue spaces and take up rather than emit carbon.

“These need to be considered seriously by water companies, developers and local government as an upstream solutions … we also need to consider the cost of pollution into our rivers and of not acting. At the moment that is being externalised on to the environment and the next generation. This is not something we should justify or continue.”

Hugo Tagholm of the campaign group Surfers Against Sewage said putting a figure of £660bn into the public domain was misinformation designed to scare the public.

“The figures are somewhere in the region of between £3.7bn and £62.bn to deal with the worst of the sewage pollution. This is well within the profits and dividends of these companies and if it were to be passed on to the bill-payer, it could be done at an affordable level.”

Analysis published by the Guardian last year showed the nine English water companies had paid out dividends of £57bn over the three decades since privatisation.

Of course it wouldn't cost anywhere near the la la figure of £650bn that the vermin plucked out of their arse, but the neoliberal logic of spilling and taking the fines will always be preferred to the costlier infrastructural remedy unless any proposed legislation comes with appropriate teeth.

I'm concerned to hear that Sunak [the teetotal cunt] thinks that higher strength beers/ciders are "undertaxed".

If that puts my 'numbers' in a higher tax bracket...

It would cost £650bn though. 65mil each to the highest 10000 Tory donors, as soon as they've created their startup sewage infrastructure companies. And if you don't like that, then you're anti-business, anti-entrepreneur, communist traitors.

More than anything else it’s a sign of how much motorists are subsidised compared to other modes of transport

 

[Badgers]

No mention of public, transport, cycling or better infrastructure at the CRAP26 jolly boys outing. Just lots about subsidies for more electric vehicles.

Get that lithium out the ground lads. Shop em from China. Then dump the used batteries in a developing country and pat yourself on the back in your private jet.

Also, on the flip side, how effective regressive wealth transfer is when undertaken through privatised, monopoly providers.
