We are a voluntary group working to stop sewage and other pollution in the Tyne.

As part of the Earthwatch 'Freshwater watch' campaign, we sampled Howden Burn and Stanley Burn last weekend for Phosphates and Nitrates. These are chemicals typically found in excess levels where there is pollution from agriculture and sewage treatment. Both samples revealed raised levels of nitrates but overall levels in the Tyne in our area was satisfactory.

No tests were carried out on this round of sampling for e coli - a significant danger to humans from sewage pollution and which remains an ongoing concern to our group due to the number of untreated sewage outlets in our stretch of the river.

You can see the results on the Earthwatch website

Private sector ownership of the water industry monopolies has failed. A consistent record of sewage spills in our seas and rivers, with chronic failure by the Environmment Agency and the regulator to control pollution. Significant profits go to to overseas owners and most significantly, we pay much higher bills than for instance in Scotland where water is still in public ownership.

Let's take the first step to sorting this out. Please sign the petition calling for a binding referendum on returning the water industry to the public sector.

Hold a binding national referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership. Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.
