More Information

The upcoming Clean Water Bill ignores the issues of public ownership or any alternatives to failed privatisation. The Sewage Campaign Network and The People's Commission for Water are calling for failing water companies to be put into Special Administration, and for a feasibility study in order to design a modern bespoke public ownership model for this country. We also have a government petition calling for a referendum on public ownership to give the public who pay for the water sector a voice in the future of water.

This event is an opportunity to hear what our elected representatives have to say about the scandal and to have your say say on the water sector crisis.
