MP for Twickenham, Munira Wilson, has responded to the news that the Office for Environmental Protection has said the government and regulators may have broken the law over how it regulated sewage releases.
In response to the news, she said: "The lack of proper scrutiny and transparency when it comes to dumping sewage into our precious waterways just beggars belief.
"In my own Twickenham constituency, residents have been fighting controversial proposals to pump millions of litres of treated sewage into the river at Teddington since January. We've questioned how people can be expected to trust the government and water companies given their record, and now the environment watchdog is questioning it, too.
"Enough is enough. This just adds more fuel to the fire that the Teddington proposals should be stopped in their tracks."
This comes after Munira secured a debate in parliament about Thames Water's plans to discharge sewage into the river at Teddington.
