Nearly 17hrs of releasing into the sea at Elizabeth Street in Dover, this time their ‘modelling’ shows it is impacting on Deal Castle and St Margaret’s beaches.
What are they doing about it? 💩

Southern Water have provided ‘extra info’ to DDC as promised. But what do you think? They said they needed time “to get the level of detail”……

Was it worth the wait? Or are they having us on?

Former Wessex Water CEO received £170k bonus despite ban on performance pay.

Received total of £693,000 in pay from Malaysian-owned parent company, YTL Utilities (UK), including bonus.

Company has 47+ criminal convictions, dumps sewage in rivers, fleeces customers, rewards bosses.

🎄In the holiday season, we've been looking back at all the reasons Thames should be taken into public ownership.

JULY: The Govt were stuck on a figure of £100bn to bring water into public hands. It wasn't just us saying this was wildly inaccurate. Here's Dr Ewan McGaughey.

And STILL #Labour does fuck all about it, because the reality is, they don't care!

They're on the side of the wealthy, privatised industries. They literally don't give a SHIT, that we're paying through the nose for an inferior service.

#Starmer doesn't care because he is a #Tory
As water bosses keep getting bonuses ...

"It’s rained a lot over the last couple of weeks. Areas of the country where water companies are currently dumped sh*t into rivers and on to beaches.
Brown, currently dumping sewage.
Red, has been dumping sewage within the last 24 hours."

Questions were asked and some of them were answered, some answers were contradictory 🤷‍♂️
Monday evening Dover District Council will be asking questions of Southern Water and the Environment Agency we are so pleased that DDC are supporting this issue.

Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs.

Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments".

Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged.

Privatisation = Abuses and insanity.

CLOSING TODAY: DEFRA is asking for people's opinions on new ways to hand out fines to water companies.

But the companies simply shrug off fines as an occupational hazard.

Write to DEFRA now, and tell them that regulation won't work - we demand a publicly owned water system.

⏰Deadline midnight!
Email DEFRA - regulation won't fix our broken water system

Greenwash

England’s water industry issued £10.5bn in ‘green bonds’ despite pollution record.

Industry dumps tons of raw sewage in rivers, lakes and seas. Destroys marine life, biodiversity; creates health hazards.

And spineless regulators call them green bonds. Travesty.

This is disgusting: water companies have been dumping toxic sewage sludge on UK farms — and turns out it can be packed with microplastics and harmful chemicals. This sludge is polluting our rivers and contaminating the soil that grows our food. Sign this petition. act.gp/4kMJRuy

Water companies MUST pay to fix their mess and stop contaminating our soil!

Well, this is interesting. Bearing in mind the amount of sewage pumped into the sea last year and the very high ecoli reading in July, it is very clear that this classification lark is entirely unfit for purpose. What are we supposed to do with this new classification? It doesn’t protect anyone..

The Labour Gov could bring Thames Water back into public ownership. Instead Castle Water is bidding for it: Castle Water is backed by the Pears Family, a billionaire property group, and owned by Tory treasurer and mega-donor Graham Edwards.
