Thames Water has been fined £3.34m after millions of litres of raw sewage flooded two rivers near Gatwick.

Judge Christine Laing KC DL told Lewes crown court Thames Water “deliberately misled” the Environment Agency during its investigation.

The untreated effluent killed several thousand fish after equipment failed in late 2017, and the consequence was sewage pouring into one river and then another for several hours.
