River Keekle. Picture: West Cumbria Rivers Trust A Cumbrian environmental charity is calling on the county s MPs to support a new Bill aiming to tackle river pollution from untreated sewage. West Cumbria Rivers Trust is hoping to see Members of Parliament across the county and beyond get behind the Sewage (Inland Waters) Bill, set to go before Parliament in January. If passed, it will place a duty on water companies to prevent the discharge of untreated sewage, and charities across the country are calling on Parliamentarians to support the Bill, introduced to the Commons by Conservative MP Philip Dunne. According to West Cumbria Rivers Trust, raw sewage was discharged into Cumbrian rivers and lakes at 599 storm overflow sites for more than 23,000 hours in total throughout 2019.
