That hearing will take place on 22 February 2023.

Tom Haward’s oyster firm (Richard Haward’s Oysters) has been in his family for eight generations, going back 300 years. He says that he has been “lucky” that his oyster beds have not been impacted by sewage dumping so far. But Tom is worried about the “immediate threat” that these discharges by water companies pose to his business and marine life around Mersea Island, if they are allowed to continue.

A £4.5 million Government contract has been handed to a company headed up by a major Conservative Party donor to dispose of unused PPE, Good Law Project can reveal.
