The climate change and sustainability strategy
Water, rivers and seas
We work in partnership with others to mitigate against the risk of coastal erosion and support communities to be resilient to flooding. We hope to preserve and improve the water quality of our rivers and seas.
Lewes District Council Southern Water Panel
This panel was set up to look at how Southern Water was performing in dealing with wastewater discharge into the district's rivers and seas. However, the panel decided early on that to review this effectively, it also needed to hear from other organisations and individuals with a particular interest or insight in this area. The panel's role has been to listen to those views and consider what recommendations it can make to best support improvement in water quality, taking into account the health and wellbeing of our residents and the local environment, and the council's own policy direction.
