About this listen

Episode 1 of People Vs Sewage dives into the true scale of England’s sewage crisis, far beyond the headlines. Philip Greenwood is joined by two of the most credible voices in the movement:

• Ashley Smith - Founder of Windrush Against Sewage Pollution, former Detective Superintendent • Paul Powlesland - Environmental barrister, River Guardian of the River Roding, founder of Lawyers for Nature

Together, they break down:

• How the crisis really works behind the scenes • Why treatment plants are failing across the UK • The Southern Water biobead spill (ten tonnes into Camber Sands) • Microplastics, chemicals and pharmaceuticals entering rivers and drinking water • Political failures, regulatory capture and financial engineering • The truth the public is not being shown • What must change now to protect public health and the environment

This is a deeper, more forensic investigation into England’s water crisis, told by the people on the frontline.
