Renationalise water companies


Renationalise water companies
The Issue
CEO’s and already rich shareholders are bleeding our water systems. They operate a monopoly and we as the ‘little’ people are paying their increasing costs.
Salaries are huge and bonuses paid despite the failing systems yet our annual bills continue to increase. Mine has increased by 29% this year.
In addition costs across the country is unfair, it is a post code lottery, there is no equity. Bills are set on historic and archaic systems based on rateable values from 1991-30 + years ago.
In addition before a complaint can be lodged with OFWAT or CCW you have to prove you have complained to the company and have sought a resolution.
Bringing water back to a single National company will remove huge salaries from too many CEO’s, remove shareholder profit enabling much greater investment in repairing and upgrading our water systems-any profit will go to reducing bills and supporting much needed infrastructure.
