MP, Staff, Peers Drop In with the Sewage Campaign Network.

Monday 7th September from 14:00 – 16:00 in Room C, 1 Parliament Street. 

Following a summer of droughts, the impending special administration of Thames Water, and widespread public opposition to privatised water companies, major reforms to the water sector needs to be firmly on Andy Burnham’s agenda. In the early weeks of his premiership, a number of proposals have been talked up. However, as the Sewage Campaign Network have set out, only public ownership will ensure a clean break from the commercialisation of water that has led to this crisis. 

We believe that proposed government reforms to regulation show that water company owners are being favoured over the public, and this is not right in a democracy. A referendum would give the public back its voice about its water.

Campaigners will be briefing MPs from all parties on the public's view about what they want now to secure cleaner, cheaper and fairer water services, now and for the future – and what needs to happen now to give the public a democratic say on the future for water.
