London has inaugurated its new super sewer, officially known as the Thames Tideway Tunnel, designed to protect the River Thames from sewage pollution. The £4.5 billion project aims to address the long-standing issue of sewage spills into the river. The first four sites along the tunnel have been brought into operation, with filthy spills already being stopped, marking a significant step in the city's efforts to improve water quality. This initiative is part of a broader campaign led by City Hall to create a greener, safer, and fairer city for all Londoners.
