We get information about overflowing CSOs since January 2025. Here is a chart of the last three months of data for Newcastle-under-Lyme, here you can see overflows in red, the darker the red, the more the CSO overflowed that day.
Each CSO has a row, the most recent data is on the right hand side.
We managed to raise £150 in 2024. That's not enough to keep the site running. Please consider a one-off or small recurring donation.
