Fining firms for sewage spills will get 'quicker and easier', says government

The government has announced plans to streamline the process for fining companies responsible for sewage spills, making it quicker and easier to impose penalties. This initiative aims to enhance accountability and protect the environment by automatically fining certain offences and reducing the burden of proof for others. It’s a significant step towards ensuring cleaner waterways and holding polluters accountable, which is crucial for public health and environmental sustainability.
