Water quality, drainage and sewage management
Two serious issues impact the lives of local people and which definitely cross party lines i.e. everyone agrees on the problems and (mostly) they agree on solutions. The first is road quality (pot-holes) and
the second is water pollution (sewage).
We have some excellent beaches in this constituency from Sunny Sands in Folkestone right around the coast to Littlestone and beyond. But if Southern Water can get away with pumping sewage directly into the sea every time it rains for a few hours (storm overflows) then the implications for public health, the maritime environment and tourism are dire.

Reform UK policy:
Reform UK would support the appointment of local people as independent monitors to measure the degree of sewage present at any time. When minimum levels are breached, this would trigger court action to seek punitive damages against the water companies.
