Flotillas of gasping fish - helpless

WITNESSED

Further down, whole eddies of dying and dead fish, contorted, with gills wrenched open

WITNESSED

Trout lifting heads out of water for the need of oxygen

WITNESSED

Plumes of green-brown discharge filling the waterway

WITNESSED

A community left bereft of their natural heritage - robbed

The grey, grey, grey lifeless aftermath for weeks later and still yet to recover

WITNESSED

Liv Garfield's whitened teeth and apparent complete lack of contrition (?)

I will enjoy watching you get taken out here.

[wreckingball] 28/6/2023 18:50

This one's for you YUMP.

If you are holding this you are, morally, unwashed imo.

Watch it and weep.

[wreckingball] 28/6/2023 18:42

Take your pick.

Internet littered with SEVERN TRENTS pollution incidents.

You wont have to search for long.

Sentiment for the company is weak and falling further.

Many pollution incidents occurring under the watch of the grinning one, Liv Garfield.....who, as far as I'm aware, has shown very little contrition. Still lapping up the bonuses I believe.

Meanwhile rivers suffer.

(WITNESSED)

Slucing the sh*t and picking up the cheque.

Shameless.

All imo.

Only a thicko like you YUMP would try to defend what is an open, national disgrace.

Here is the despicable Severn Trent (imo) it again. Worcester this time:



SEWAGE was spilled into the River Severn in Worcester some 81 times for the equivalent of more than 43 days in 2021, new figures have revealed.

The findings have been highlighted after Severn Trent was referred to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) by Fish Legal for allegedly refusing to disclose information about operations at its Worcester sewage treatment works

Severn Trent has a permit to discharge both ‘storm’ sewage and treated sewage into the River Severn at Diglis,.

But the ICO has been asked by Fish Legal to consider whether Severn Trent has acted lawfully in rejecting requests for details about such discharges and the works’ maintenance programme in 2022.

While required to keep maintenance records to demonstrate compliance with the permit and to operate to minimise the polluting effects into the river, Severn Trent has argued such records do not constitute environmental information according to Fish Legal.


Sewage was spilled for a total of 1,051 hours into the Severn and high levels of phosphate have been recorded by Worcester Angling Society just downstream of the works since members started taking water samples in July 2021.

The work led to a pilot project being set up by the Angling Trust for the River Severn catchment which was later rolled out nationally.

Glyn Marshall, the chairman of Worcester Angling Society, said “I was fishing the Lower Severn downstream of the treatment works after a flood in Spring 2021.

“I noticed there were pant liners and other debris trapped in the bankside vegetation.

“Catches on our club water below the works had been fluctuating for several years. I did not want my local River Severn to follow the demise of the River Wye so I personally started monitoring the river.

“The results were shocking, off the scale of my phosphate meter and the levels were high below the works,” he added.

Penelope Game, head of practice at Fish Legal highlighted a landmark case in 2015 which asks privatised water companies to disclose environmental information (EIR), except in very limited circumstances.

“Since the ruling, some water companies have been as creative as possible to avoid their legal duties,” she said.

“But we are prepared to challenge them because the public right to access information has been critical in exposing poor and potentially illegal activity in the water industry.”

Funny how your attacks are reduced to my use of capital letters.

A 37 strong CC'd email waiting in my outbox at present and growing by the day.

Short houses large and small, both sides of the pond will get the nod and more will open positions.

The trigger will be pulled. Timing is everything.

Enjoy your bull trap in the meantime.

The share price is heading south.

You have been warned.

Nothing illegal, nothing naked, each house assessing the rationale and making his or her decision. Market forces. A beautiful thing.

All imo, as ever.

[wreckingball] 28/6/2023 18:11

If you're holding stock yump, I fully looked forward to the shafting thats coming your way. Watch and learn little man.

[wreckingball] 28/6/2023 18:10

A little skewering and castration to their beloved share price will go a long way.

[yump] 28/6/2023 17:54

Where did he go ? Perhaps arrested for hanging from a motorway gantry.

[yump] 28/6/2023 13:24

Why would you post so much on here, when you could give up your philanthropic time to campaign in the real world. Clearly you’re out to help people and you’re not reaching many on here. Its not even a very active board.

Perhaps you just like seeing your own username in capitals and shouting to yourself.

[wreckingball] 28/6/2023 09:23

This company will never make 3000.

Failed on multiple occasions even prior the Great British Water Scandal became the zeitgeist.

Genie is now out of the bottle.

The investment case is over.

CEO's like fat cat Garfield can chalk down the win, take the money and shuffle off (as she will imo, as soon as things become tough).....but the golden age of shoving sh*t into our rivers is over.

Mass refusal to pay bills for just one quarter would have the BOD sweating.

Now isn't that a dangerous thought?

I'm not advocating it of course.

People should behave and be compliant and good little customers......but I say it again.....isn't it a dangerous thought.

[wreckingball] 28/6/2023 08:40

2600 is nailed on imo.

When that's breached its 'chocks away'...no pun intended ...a bit like this company slucing out foul quantities of RAW HUMAN SH*T into our rivers all whilst sickening bonuses are paid.

Google their record on this.

RIFE.

Serial offenders.

Multiple pollution events. Multiple fines.

WITNESSED.

[wreckingball] 28/6/2023 08:36

GARFIELD HAS PRESIDED OVER A PERIOD WHERE NEVER BEFORE HAVE THEY HAD IT SO EASY, AND NEVER AGAIN WILL IT BE SO EASY.

Genie is now out of the bottle.

Public are aware.

Some are refusing to pay their bills.

Regulation can now only get tighter, not the opposite.

Likely change in government.

Competition probe now taking place.

THIS WILL FALL LOWER - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

B*tch company has its muzzle above the surface at present but further weights will be added imo.

[wreckingball] 28/6/2023 08:30

We know all about Thames Water.

Don't think for one moment the noose has slipped from the neck of serial river polluters and repeat offenders Severn Trent.

Shorting a company is an art.

[youngers] 28/6/2023 07:08

So if Thames is toast where is this going today?

[wreckingball] 27/6/2023 09:27

Lock in your profits folks.

This one is toast imo.

You have been warned.

[wreckingball] 27/6/2023 09:26

Only a marginal increase in profits for SVT at the last count.

And never again will they enjoy a period of such lax regulation and public inertia / silence.

Shareholders to date can chalk down the win......but it's over.

Things are only going to get tougher for this b*tch of a company.

Dividend news is out.

Investigation underway by UK watchdog

Likely upcoming change in government

Completely inadequate members of the UK government (think Coffey) will be out

(Even Sunak has openly stated much bigger fines for water companies are to be welcomed)

This companies heyday is finally over.....all presided over by that charlatan (imo) CEO whose incompetence (again imo) is shielded by the captive market her shi*ty business 'serves'. I predict will walk at the first sign of strengthening regulation and weakening profits and reduced dividends.

The golden age of pumping sh*t is over.

SVT will never see 3000 imo.

It's over.

And in the meantime this will get sliced, diced and ventilated by shorts....whom I think are already putting their cross-hairs on this.

Enjoy your bull trap. MM's know this is set for lower highs and lower lows imo.

All imo.

According to Google:

How much pollution is in the River Severn?

UK's 20 most polluted rivers revealed in Top of the Poops ...
The River Severn was the most polluted river, and had seen 28,741 hours of sewage pumped into it on 2,656 occasions by Severn Trent Water.

Channel 4's Dispatches claims Severn Trent may have been using HUNDREDS OF ILLEGAL SEWAGE PIPES to PUMP WASTE INTO THE REGIONS RIVERS

They're at it again:

"Severn Trent accused of pumping sewage into rivers with illegal waste pipes..."
