Sewage was released into our rivers and waterways more than 14,000 times in Scotland last year.
It is absolutely disgusting and the SNP/Green government should be ashamed for allowing it to continue.
Yet this is probably only the tip of the iceberg, as Scotland only monitors 4% of sewage overflows, compared to 89% in England, so the true scale of this problem is likely much larger.
We need an acceleration of measures to upgrade Scotland's Victorian sewage systems and prevent almost 19,000 Olympic pools worth of sewage from flowing into our rivers and onto our beaches.
