Thank you to everyone who supported my public meeting with Southern Water on Thursday 9th April 2026. The strength of feeling locally is clear: they have lost your trust, and you want to see action.
If you attended, I hope you found the meeting constructive and informative. Please do let me know in the survey below, which should only take a couple of minutes.
If you didn't manage to join us, please do watch the full recording of the meeting, which is at the top of this page. You can also find the video on YouTube. I would very much welcome your feedback and responses via the survey once you have had chance to watch it back.
I have also uploaded a copy of the presentation that Southern Water delivered at the meeting. You can find the file below and linked here; I hope this is helpful.
Southern Water have agreed to return for a second meeting later this year. Like you, I will want to see demonstrably clear progress made on towards cleaning up our bathing waters and preventing future sewage discharges.
I know how much this matters, and I will continue to relentlessly push them, the Environment Agency, and the Government to accelerate plans to restore all of our bathing waters to Good or Excellent.
