Windrush Against Sewage Pollution- using data analysis and investigation to expose the regulatory failure and promote improvement. www,windrushwasp.org
- Government unwilling to stop this - Liv Garfield at Severn Trent collected a whopping £3.9 million in spite of the firm being fined £1.5 million for illegally dumping sewage into Worcestershire watercourses. @Feargal_Sharkey @carolvorders
- No @WaterUK it is not ok for water companies to use our precious rivers as toilets to prop up obscene profits and bonuses. Spend bill payers' money on the service, not servicing yourselves. It's our water - keep it clean and safe for all. @Feargal_Sharkey @WWFLeadWater
00:00 - Sweating the assets until they break is how the water industry shareholders make billions, Today the beautiful life that filled the river Ray near Swindon is no more thanks to a broken Thames Water sewer. Sickening @Feargal_Sharkey @ATFreshwater @itvnews @SkyNews
00:00 - Water companies do not dump untreated sewage to stop it backing up into people's homes. They do it because they extracted £72billion of billpayers money as dividends instead of spending it on fixing decaying infrastructure and under capacity assets. @Feargal_Sharkey @sascampaigns
- A spokesman for Water UK, which represents water companies, said meeting the government’s targets for reducing pollution from sewage overflows would “require significant investment” Wasn't that the entire point of privatisation 33 years ago? @GreenJennyJones @Feargal_Sharkey
- Back in 2021 Prof Peter Hammond exposed extensive illegal pollution by privatised water companies. Our government came to the rescue but not of the public and environment but to protect shareholders polluting for profit. @Feargal_Sharkey @guardian
- This beautiful limestone stream in Oxfordshire is being destroyed by water company pollution @thameswater and the Environment Agency simply lets them get on with it - again - With sound.
00:00 - People have had enough of profiteering water companies. Why hasn't the government? @Feargal_Sharkey @GreenJennyJones
00:00 - Thames Water raiding the pension fund now . £157M missing. £158M paid to Shareholders in March. @Keir_Starmer this blatant scam is on your watch now. Thames Water's Pension Shortfall Hits a Train Wreck: Customers Left Off the Hook (influencermagazine.uk)
- Why is @Ofwat still allowing water industry CEOs to take obscenely high payments and shareholders take dividends as long as any of their sewage works are operating illegally - as many are - simply to save money and maximise profit? @Feargal_Sharkey @We_OwnIt @WATERSHED_i
00:00 - Looks like new Sec of State @ranil already recognises the government storm overflow reduction plan is rubbish so now asked the industry to fix it.. Shame that the Gov also forced MPs to vote away the power to force them @Feargal_Sharkey
- Environment Agency says no more housing should be connected to Oxford sewage works until it is upgraded to operate legally. This is massive wix.to/cgwLYPZ #newblogpost
- Can anyone in government explain why water company CEOs are still being allowed to take multimillion £ bonuses while routinely and deliberately operating outside the law? @theresecoffey @Feargal_Sharkey @GreenJennyJones @thetimes @theipaper @BBCNews @sascampaigns
