Public outrage is growing as Southern Water has initiated the discharge of sewage into the River Test, a renowned British river celebrated for its salmon and trout fishing. This move has come despite the company currently facing legal action over pollution in the same river. The Environment Agency has been criticized for granting a permit for sewage discharge into Cunsey Beck, with campaigners arguing that the permit's conditions are not stringent enough. The situation has escalated with sewage spilling into floodwater in Shouldham and Burnham Thorpe, raising environmental and public health concerns.
