CLAIMS that sewage would flood the streets if £50m. was not invested in the network were an ‘ill-judged’ attempt to spread panic and fear, a poll-topping deputy has claimed.

SEWAGE could flood streets and homes if £50m. is not found to improve the network, Guernsey Water warned yesterday.

FULL sewage treatment in Guernsey has been rejected by the States after accepting scientific evidence that said it was not needed.

OVER the last few months, a group of local and UK businessmen have been working on a long-term, integrated waste and sewage solution for the island and have now formed the Longue Hougue Project Development Company.

SEWAGE treatment lobbyists have upped their campaigns ahead of this week’s States vote on the issue.

JUST four deputies have so far agreed to dive into Belle Greve Bay to prove it is clean enough to swim in.

TOURISTS boarding ferries in Weymouth and Portsmouth today will be warned that Guernsey pumps 16,000 tonnes of raw sewage into the sea each day.

PUBLIC SERVICES will be forced to continue investigations into building a full sewage treatment plant, if an amendment from Deputy David De Lisle is successful.

A LAST-DITCH attempt to bring in full sewage treatment is being made by a consortium of Guernsey businesses.

BY NOW, all of us will have been hit by Guernsey’s new ‘toilet tax’. The claim was that the average payment under this unwelcome new charge would be £150 per household.
