Water: Pollution
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress he has made on tackling water pollution in North East Somerset and Hanham constituency.
Answered by Emma Hardy
The Environment Agency (EA) inspected over 50% of the Wessex Water assets in this Constituency between April 2024 and March 2025. Inspections are prioritised according to environmental sensitivity, such as sites that impact bathing waters, conservation designations or where data shows high spill rates. The EA will more than double its water company inspections this year.
