“Britain’s biggest water monopoly company, Thames Water…has requested bill rises of 59%. These figures have been rejected by Ofwat. The documents were described as a “microwave job”… and include “fag-packet figures”. Timberrrrr. theguardian.com/business/artic…

'Thames Water should be “ripped up” and no longer allowed to be for profit, after it emerged some 14bn litres of sewage were released in 2023.'

Today's poll. Thames Water 💧 nationalise or privatise?

In response to my question The River Summit & Festival “Environment Agency chief admits regulator buries freedom of information requests” theguardian.com/environment/ar… #endsewagepollution #anglersagainstpollution

I hope so too. I thanked Mr Duffy for answering my question so honestly.

Pete Devery The River Summit & Festival James Wallace Activist Anglers Jim Murray Angling Trust WildFish We hope that will be the beginning of the end of the arrogant, deceitful 'Post Office' attitudes we saw flourish in the Environment Agency under the previous CEO.

1 year of addressing road runoff pollution & small numbers of trout are back in the Wandle after 90 years absent from the river. Indicates just how significant an impact highway pollution may be having on river health.

🚭 No Butts🚭
Please dispose of your cigarette butts responsibility, NOT down a storm drain.
These butts (full of toxic chemicals) will end up in the river harming wildlife.
Storm drains lead directly to the river, no intercepion/ no filtering.

A brilliant and history-making team! I'm proud to be from a town of diverse communities and a Labour Group of diverse talents on Reading Council🌹

Exclusive: Ofwat, the water regulator, is expected to delay a critical series of decisions on the business plans of companies including Thames Water (which is hovering on the brink of collapse) beyond the scheduled date of June 12 until after the general election. More soon.

Currently 7.5 hours of untreated 💩 has been pouring into the Kennet from Marlborough Sewage Treatment Works and it's still pouring.....
Our River School tomorrow is upstream of this, but plenty of wildlife is not!

Great to hear Keir Starmer lead soon the sewage in our rivers when citing the long, long list of failures in the county. If you win The Labour Party we'll be holding you to account to deliver. #ge2024

Actor and angler Jim Murray shares a powerful call to fight the cloud of apathy, stating the incoming government must have a cast iron roadmap.

🗣️ “We need a radical plan to safeguard our water and fast…before this country sleepwalks into a water crisis.”
