- 10 months ago
Cornwall is the UK's worst region for sewage spills as it counted 11,285 discharges into its seas and rivers last year.
The region has recorded the most storm overflow spills than any other area in the UK, according to a 'Polluted Waters Report' by Utility Bidder.
Not far behind is Carmarthenshire which had 11,195 counted spills throughout last year.
Other areas in the top ten included County Durham, Northumberland and Pembrokeshire but they had recorded less than 10,000 overspills.
Chichester was found to have a higher duration of sewage spills than any other UK area, It was closely followed by Test Valley in Hampshire and West Berkshire which has the River Thames running through it which is likely to have been polluted by the sewage spills there.
