Out on the River Roding yesterday I discovered what these spill statistics mean in reality. A cascade of sun bleached wet wipes & sanitary towels strewn down the bank of the Roding from Combined Sewer Overflow. When do we draw a line in the sand & say this is... show more

Yes, I very much agree on that.

@mrEmTee I've never used wet-wipes. Even when travelling with children I used cotton facecloths which went in the washing machine afterwards, lasted years, biodegradable, and much cheaper too - why were the good old methods discarded?

Now? Totally unacceptable & @theresecoffey should deal with it NOW & get the pollutant waste cleared up. Personally if necessary. What do we pay our taxes for?! Well done for flagging it up 🚩

Whatever happened to filtering out of "Ridley's Plastics"? Does even that minimum level of pollutant control now go out the window with so-called storm overflow?

No doubt to be cleaned up using council money at some point, whilst the shareholders of the water companies rake it in…

@16Sharkey The EU gave you standards (along with lots more) and you ripped them up "Don't tell us what to do" So, what are you going to do about it?

Aside from the Thames Water factor, I don't get why people flush this stuff. Not something I'd normally discuss but never in my 40+ menstruating years can I say I've ever felt the need to flush SanPro!

Is there even any sand left visible in which to draw that line? (both literally and metaphorically, sadly...)

A more reasonble view might focus on the people using items such as wet wipes, which are very convenient but in practice quite unsustainble.
