About me

I’m Ellie.
I’ve had enough.

Our rivers, lakes and beaches deserve better than sewage and another carefully worded apology.

My dog got sick after being in a polluted river. That’s personal. But the people losing their swimming spots, watching wildlife disappear or dealing with sewage on their doorstep deserve to be heard too.

Sewage Watch is my way of making a nuisance of myself. I’m following the evidence, naming the companies responsible and asking the questions their PR teams would rather dodge.

I care about what this actually does to people: the anger, the grim clean-ups, the ridiculous situations nobody should have to put up with. Their stories matter more than another polished statement.

I want water we can enjoy, wildlife that can thrive, and polluters who have to answer for the mess. Seems a fairly reasonable thing to be difficult about.
