I am only ten years old but I am not stupid. The sewage works Southern Water wants to put in Ovingdean are a really bad idea.

Brighton and Hove City Council is putting in new sea defences and doing up the beach and the water company storms in and says it wants to pollute our beach with sewage.

What is the difference between Ovingdean and the other place it was going to build it except for the fact Ovingdean is one of the most popular beaches in Brighton?

Anyway, why does sewage have to go into the sea? What do they do in the Midlands? If you want to let a perfectly good beach be ruined, fine. If not, do something about it.
