Send an e-postcard to help our Brighton Campaign

Recently we have been asking you to send of postcards as part of our various campaigns. Now we have made it even easier for you to help us with our Brighton Campaign. Simply follow the steps below to do your bit...

Step 1 - Watch the video we have made:

It’s a bit of a take on the Guinness Extra Cold ad where the surfers run down to the water only for it to be too cold to get in. In our version we get surfers to run down to the water (well, amble on the Brighton pebbles!) by the Palace Pier only to dip in a toe and see a group of Vik the Viruses emerging from the shallows scaring the crap out of the surfers who run back up the beach!

Step 2 - Fill in your details below and click send:

This will basically send an e-letter to DEFRA with your details and the plea shown below:

Step 3 - Tell your friends, family and people you meet to do the same, the more the better.

Step 2

TO: Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Water Quality Division, Floor 3, Ashdown House, 123 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6DE.
DEAR SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS, I am writing in support of Surfers Against Sewage’s request of you under the Water Resources Act 1991: Schedule 10 Para 4 and 5 to “call in” for your determination, the Southern Water discharge consents that relate to the Brighton and Hove Sewage Treatment Scheme. I urge you to upgrade the level of sewage treatment proposed from secondary to tertiary. Anything other than full sewage treatment would be unsatisfactory in properly protecting the health of those using water for recreation and unsustainable as wastewater could, with full sewage treatment, be reused. At a time when Southern Water are experiencing severe water shortages and with climate change predicting a worsening scenario it is essential this proposed scheme reuses water. Without full sewage treatment 78,304 m3 of secondary level treated sewage effluent that could be reused will be wasted at sea each and every day! Yours sincerely,
