Sewage

We have been learning a lot about sewage in the river. We watched a Panorama documentary called the 'The river pollution scandal' on BBC iplayer and put a diagram together on some of the main points discussed in the program. The program filmed untreated sewage being discharged into protected rivers. According to the Environment Agency in 2020 storm overflows were used 403,171 times in England. We were also inspired by Jamie and Philippa's letter to their MP so we tweaked parts of their letter and with my help Shreya typed a letter to our MP about the water sample findings and concern over the frequent use of sewage overflows as well as the Sewage Bill.
