Ban The Bailouts:
The Government is trying to pass a law that could force the public to bailout failing water companies. We need to act now, before it's too late.
To: Prime Minister, Keir Starmer
The Water (Special Measures) Bill is not fit for purpose and requires urgent amendment. We demand that you:
Ban any bailout of water company debt and shareholders using taxpayer or customer money;
Replace Ofwat's duty to deliver water company profits with a duty to protect the environment and public health.
