Petition: Hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership

Hold a binding national referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership. Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.

Stop delaying action on Thames Water. 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:

The Guardian | Sewage released into England’s rivers and seas nearly 300,000 times last year by Sandra Laville

Campaigners criticise frequent use of storm overflows when parts of the country were in drought for months

Raw sewage was discharged into rivers and seas almost 300,000 times last year after the driest spring for more than 100 years and the sunniest and warmest year on record in England.

Water companies released raw sewage into rivers and seas from storm overflows – designed to be used in extreme wet weather conditions – 291,492 times. This was a 35% reduction on record spills in 2024. Average discharges were 20.5 spills for each overflow, compared with 31.8 in the previous year.

It's email/letter writing time again.
This time about the outrageous plans creditors of Thames Water are lobbying the UK government to accept ("Let us keep making profit, write of much of our debt and let us keep polluting rivers, beaches and shores").
My MP is not in the Thames Valley, but the water company in their region is likely to see this as a precedent, so not acting stores up trouble ahead.

Petition to Uk parliament:
To make water a non profit making national asset that ensures we have a secure water infrastructure that ensures our water security for future generations.
We believe it has become very clear that funding capital infrastructure improvements has been a lower priority than shareholder profit and CEO salaries and bonuses by all the privatised water companies. Therefore, to ensure that our citizens water needs are met, now and in the future, water companies should be re-nationalised to ensure our country's water security in the future.
