The day I was in Hastings residents at a planning meeting complained about the state of drainage in the town and the disgrace of inadequate sewerage in new housing developments. This is just surface water (well, in non-storm conditions anyway), but even that brings its fair share of pollution to the sea. The boys play unaware. Viewed by an alien, is this the pipe that has filled up the English Channel? Very slow.
