An absolute disgrace. No consideration for #townplanning, it’s densities and the fact that the site is prone to #flooding! The Local school and road network is already at capacity. “Green light for fast track housing plan for Ashford” rte.ie/news/business/2021/10… via @DeptHousingIRL

Thanks to not being prepared for a hard brexit, chemical treatment shortages for wastewater has trigger the UK gov to allow raw sewage discharge without treatment, while it was supposed to be exceptional circumstances, operators are discharging daily. Trans boundary impacts?
When every day qualifies for ‘exceptional’ sewage discharge… @sascampaigns @EnvAgency
