Subject: Constituent concern: Southern Water sewage discharge — overflow SWS00362

Dear [your MP — WriteToThem will fill this in],

I am writing as your constituent to raise concern about ongoing sewage discharges
from Southern Water in our area.

A specific recent example is storm overflow SWS00362, which public
Environment Agency data shows recording 10 spill events totalling 46 min in the last 30 days into the TIDAL RIVER THAMES.

Evidence on the public record:
- Last 30 days: 10 spill events totalling 46 min
- Cross-referenced flags from independent monitoring: 1 open Truth Engine discrepancies
- Location: 51.44340, 0.40064
- Source: Environment Agency National Storm Overflow Hub, OGL v3, cross-referenced via River Truth (https://rivertruth.co.uk/overflow/8783)

[Add your personal context here — e.g. how you use this stretch of water and how this incident affects you and your family.]

I would like to ask:
1. Whether you support strengthening the regulatory regime for storm overflows
   and monitor coverage in particular
2. Whether you would raise this specific incident with the Secretary of State
   for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs or with Ofwat
3. What steps Parliament is taking to hold Southern Water accountable for
   the gap between shareholder distributions and the state of monitoring on
   the ground

Yours sincerely,
[Your name]
