Pleased to have received contact from West Dorset Councillor Kippax today and have been invited for a telephone call discussion Friday.

I look forward to a constructive positive conversation and finding out how how our elected Libdems Council will support this petition and its community. 

The Liberal Democrats’ policy since 2024 focuses on stopping sewage dumping and holding water companies accountable.
Key points:
• End sewage dumping in rivers and seas by forcing water companies to upgrade infrastructure.
• Replace the regulator Ofwat with a stronger Clean Water Authority with tougher enforcement powers.
• Ban executive bonuses at water companies until sewage pollution is stopped.
• Introduce a “sewage tax” on water company profits to fund river and sewage system improvements.
• Reform water companies into “public benefit companies” so environmental protection must be prioritised over shareholder profit.
