Shiiiiiit....Shoreham's Revenge

[whitecampervanman]

Anyone else get the shits after surfing today? I went out in the harbour early, it stank (as it often does) and I've had the 'Shoreham's revenge' all afternoon.

The storm outfall is marked on this map - I can easily imagine it coming back in, and anyway goodness knows what comes down the river...

Anyway, if you did fill out the SAS medical response form http://www.sas.org.uk/campaigns/sewage-and-sickness/medical-response/.

James - I wonder if this could go on the Sharkbait page along with the Environment Agency's pollution hotline number (0800 80 70 60)?

Aaron - any chance of getting Shoreham listed on the Sewage Alert Servicehttp://www.sas.org.uk/campaigns/sewage-and-sickness/sewage-alert-service/?

We can't currently get Shoreham on the text alerts as Southern Water will only cover Blue Flag beaches, of which we have none in Brighton or its surrounds. There are about 4 CSO's in Shoreham Harbour which theoretically each go off around 12 times a year, which will be during/after periods of heavy rainfall. I say theoretically because they're not monitored and so nobody knows for sure how often they release raw sewage but 12 times a year is the estimate that Southern Water told me a couple of years ago when I met with them about Brighton's CSO's.
