WHAT ABOUT US WATER USERS?

There are some embedded in the country's infrastructure who are bleeding us all dry whilst polluting rivers and seas on a national scale.

They are the bosses of the privatised water companies.

Severn Trent's CEO Liv Garfield got £3.2 million last year. North West Water's CEO Steve Mogford took £3.2 million.

The CEOs of water companies saw their take increase by 20 per cent last year. Some also have lucrative second jobs!

What about us customers?

Well the bills are set to rise by £86 for the average domestic property nationally and between 21-53 per cent a year. That's with inflation at three per cent.

Yes we are the mugs and we are getting mugged big time.
