Environmental activists from Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) mobilised for a major demonstration this Saturday, January 6th, at Southwick’s Kingston Beach, to protest against Southern Water’s ongoing discharge of untreated sewage into the Adur estuary. The rally is scheduled to take place at noon near the outfall just east of the Kingston Beach car park.
This action comes in response to Southern Water’s reported dumping of untreated wastewater for nearly 200 hours since Christmas at the Combined Sewer Outfall at The Green, Southwick. The estuary, adjacent to the popular Kingston Beach, is a favoured spot for swimmers throughout the year, with its usage peaking during the rough winter months.
