For too long, the residents and businesses reliant on South East Water have faced an escalating crisis. The company has consistently failed to invest in critical infrastructure, leading to repeated disruptions of service. This neglect has resulted in substantial impact on our daily lives. Schools have been forced to close, and businesses have incurred significant losses due to the lack of reliable water supply. It is imperative that we address the root cause of this debacle—the leadership of Dave Hinton.

In his tenure as CEO, Dave Hinton has not only allowed the situation to deteriorate but has also failed to provide transparent and accurate information. His misleading statements to Parliament betray a lack of accountability and a disregard for the customers who depend on South East Water. As a result, confidence in his ability to lead effectively has been eroded, and it is clear that immediate action is necessary to restore trust and operational integrity.

We call upon the government to intercede in this failing service. Immediate intervention is required to halt this downward spiral, ensuring that South East Water is equipped with the leadership and resources needed to rectify ongoing issues. This includes appointing a new CEO committed to transparency, infrastructure development, and open communication with customers.

Join us in demanding the immediate resignation of Dave Hinton. Urge the government to take swift action to rescue South East Water, for the sake of the community, the economy, and the future reliability of our water supply. Support this petition to create a change in leadership that prioritizes the public interest and secures a sustainable future. Sign this petition to insist on accountability and effective governance in our essential services. Together, we can hold South East Water accountable and push for the changes our communities desperately need.
