South West Water will be hosting a 'roadshow' at Exmouth Town Hall tomorrow (Tuesday, February 20) and members of the public are planning a protest outside.

They are holding a demonstration outside the Town Hall at 1.30pm, which the group behind it say is 'to make it very clear to SWW that we simply don't accept the damage they are doing to us, to our environment, and to our tourism. Enough is enough'.

A Facebook group called ESCAPE (End Sewage Convoys And Poollution Exmouth) is open for members of the public to join and find out the latest on sewage pollution in Exmouth and Budleigh.

A spokesman for the protest said: "Please come and demonstrate with us. SWW needs to be held to account, and they need to see just how unhappy we are with their actions (or, more accurately, their INactions)."

In response to this, South West Water said: “The opinions of our customers matter to us greatly. We are listening and know we have more to do. The purpose of events like our Community Roadshow in Exmouth tomorrow is to hear directly from customers and have the opportunity to discuss any concerns they may have.

“We are investing to help deliver improvements in our environmental performance, and will continue to do all we can to protect our region’s seas and rivers.”

SWW is hosting a series of coastal community roadshows across the region to share latest business plan with customers and to demonstrate how it is 'investing record amounts in making improvements right across the South West'.

In Exmouth, they will be explaining to residents how the water and wastewater systems work and explaining more about the plans we have for Exmouth and the surrounding areas.

The event is fully booked, representatives of the water company will be at Exmouth Town Hall, St Andrews Road, EX8 1AW from 2pm-6pm.
