Right now, a deal is being discussed that could allow Thames Water to avoid new fines for years, even after sewage spills, leaks and repeated failures.

To: Environment Secretary, Emma Reynolds

Backroom deals are failing customers and the environment, and letting water companies off the hook. Bring Thames Water into public ownership now to protect our rivers and seas, fix the system, and put the public first.

Bring Thames Water into Public Ownership NOW

😡 Thames Water wants to be allowed to dump sewage and not pay a PENNY. Right now, they're trying to force a deal so they can dodge fines until 2030, while customers foot the bill. This isn’t right. Join me and sign the petition now:
