ITV News has learned that over two-thirds of Brits will avoid swimming or entering our rivers and the sea because of pollution fears.
Last year, water companies in England dumped sewage in our waterways for a total of 3.6 million hours.
That figure was up 54% from the number of sewage spills in 2022.
Contained within the spills is human waste, wet wipes, and sanitary products.
