Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Clean the Bill campaign is focused on England's failed profit driven system and the English law to fix it going through the Westminster Parliament later this year.

Scotland

So far, the Scottish Government have not committed to introducing legislation to tackle Scotland's unique sewage scandal.

That has to change.

We need a Clean Water Bill in Scotland that will:

Protect Public Health:

  • Set legally binding targets to end untreated sewage discharges affecting bathing waters and popular recreational water usage areas by 2030.

  • Introduce a world leading water quality testing regime that monitors emerging pollutants and protects water users wherever, whenever, and however they use the water.

Reveal the Truth:

  • Mandate 100% monitoring of all sewage overflows in Scotland.

  • Make real-time sewage alerts available to the public.

Enforce the Law:

  • Enforce the law by ensuring sewage discharges outside exceptional circumstances are punished.

  • Properly fund and resource SEPA so they can hold polluters to account
