Maple Cross, Hertfordshire, UK. 12th February, 2023. It has been reported in the inews this week that HS2 Ltd, the Government backed company responsible for building the new High Speed 2 railway, have signed an agreement with Thames Water whereby HS2 can send sewage and other "contaminated" water to the Maple Lodge Sewage Treatment Works (pictured) in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire which borders Maple Cross. The agreement allows HS2 to send both human waste and "contaminated" water from their nearby construction works at the HS2 South Portal site in West Hyde to the sewage plant. There have been at least 5 sewage emissions from Maple Lodge into the River Colne so far in the first six weeks of 2023. Environmentalists are furious about this. The River Colne is a precious wildlife habitat that is fed by a number of chalk streams. Credit: Maureen McLean/Alamy Live News
