Letter: Keeping Cornish sewage at bay

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: Patrick Heron was right about the sewage outfall at Gwithian. What he did not mention was that the local people are facing rises of 13-16 per cent in their water charges to pay for it.

Unlike St Ives, most villages gain nothing from visitors except resultant traffic jams. The new sewage system is being built to cope with the increased demand due to the holidaymakers.

Yours faithfully,

SANDRA PETTETT
