Amanda Iremonger, Green Party candidate for Lacey Green, calls on United Utilities to stop sewage pollution in the River Dean in Wilmslow.

Amanda says:

Shockingly sewerage was poured into the River Dean at the Wilmslow Sewage Treatment Plant for an average of more than 4 hours every day in 2024. We want our rivers and seas to be sparkling clean, not awash with chemicals, microplastics and human waste.

Local residents and I want to be able to walk safely by the rivers with our dogs and children, without worrying that they will get sick.

This ongoing United Utilities sewage pollution in the River Dean in Wilmslow is damaging water quality, harming wildlife, and putting public health at risk.

United Utilities need to clean up their act.

Amanda continued:

The water quality here is poor, and even the government says the only company to blame is United Utilities.

So how is it that we have 82 Councillors with influence in Cheshire East, yet none of them have made a difference, or even spoken publicly about this foul problem? Surely not because 64 of them represent parties which have received donations from United Utilities in the past?”

Amanda argues that the problem cannot be ignored any longer. She is demanding urgent action to protect the River Dean, Wilmslow residents, and local wildlife from the ongoing sewage scandal.
