As recent new on water companies raising prices while dumping sewage and pocking profits prove we need an overhaul of our water system. Not just tinkering at the edges.
Clive Lewis MP has scheduled a private members bill in the House of Commons and you can ask your MP to attend the Water Bill debate. After years of bill hikes, shareholder pay-outs, and pollution, it couldn’t be clearer that privatisation has created a crisis in our water system. We can’t leave the future of this critical national resource in the hands of failing corporations that prioritise profit, and an ineffective regulator.
The Private Members Water Bill will have its first debate on 28th March. This Bill is an unmissable chance to put public ownership on the table and create a national conversation about how our water is managed. This is a chance for common sense to overcome an ideological commitment to failing privatisation.
It’s about weighing all options and shaping our future together. It’s about democracy. We need as many MPs as possible to show up and back this campaign. Ask your MP to be there on the 28th March and back the Bill.
The more pressure we build, the better our chances of success. Even one letter—your letter—can make a difference. Can you join me and write a letter? It will only take a few clicks here.
