The new London homes flushing raw sewage into rivers
Raw sewage is being dumped into London's rivers from at least 100 homes, a charity has warned.
Thames Water's response to an Environmental Information Request (EIR) from Friends of the River Crane Environment (Force) showed seven blocks of flats in north, north-west and west London had been discharging waste into the rivers Crane and Brent.
Force blamed the "appalling" situation on developers and a lack of enforcement, while Thames Water said although property owners and developers were responsible, it had a programme "to help identify and investigate misconnections".
The Environment Agency said it "encourages people to report any signs of pollution or any other environmental concerns". 成人快手 Radio London's Salma El-Wardany has been finding out more.
