Save our Swale

The River Swale, the heart and namesake of the environmental group “Save our Swale,” stands as a poignant battleground against the alarming increase in raw sewage discharged into our waters. This group ardently contends that Yorkshire Water prioritises profit over people and the environment, neglecting the much-needed investment in modernising the antiquated sewage infrastructure. Recent data exposes a troubling pattern: sewage spills are not only becoming more frequent but are persisting longer than in previous years, even in those marked by heavier rainfall1Gouldsbrough, Patrick. 2024. ‘Save Our Swale on Yorkshire Water Sewage Spill Data’, The Northern Echo (The Northern Echo) <https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/24216573.save-swale-yorkshire-water-sewage-spill-data/> [accessed 1 July 2024].
