Sewage Summit
On 8 July 2024 we will bring together environmental activists, water companies and other agencies to delve into the underlying causes of sewage pollution affecting our district and explore effective and practical measures to stop it.
The Sewage Summit will take place at the Corinium Museum, Cirencester, on Monday 8 July 2024, 9:15 am to 3:30pm.
This event will give residents an opportunity to hear from the water companies serving the district, local environmental groups and regulatory bodies and have a chance to ask them questions.
During the morning there will be presentations by environmental groups and water agencies, this will be followed by an afternoon Q&A panel session.
