In 2019/20 Cllr Shoob received allowances totaling £10,158.
It was also announced yesterday in The Guardian, that last year, Southern Water released raw sewage into the sewers of Romney Marsh, the sea of our coast and the rivers in our district. Yet the Shepway Green Party chose to mention her appointment and not the fact our environment has been fouled by raw sewage. Strange indeed for a party who profess to care about our environment in our district.
Southern Water, supplies 4.6m customers in Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight with water and sewage services.
In 2019, Southern Water released raw sewage into rivers for 19,977 hours in 3,219 incidents. To put those number of hours into some context, there are 8,760 hours in one year meaning the leakage was equivalent to two years and three months worth of raw sewage flowing into the rivers
Some of these leakages happened here in Kent and in our district, according to the interactive map below, built by the River Trust.
Now for a party which is supposed to care about the environment, it’s clear to us, speaking about Cllr Shoob’s appointment to the Otterpool Park LLP is more important than raw sewage being pumped into our environment.
