Open letter: private water companies must be allowed to fail
Open letter: response to the government's white paper on water.
There is no market in water, it is a natural monopoly. The public understands this and is sick of broken promises.

“Tell Ed Miliband: UK nature needs more protection, not less, & it's part of tackling the climate crisis”. A new report to facilitate development of nuclear power would make it easier to weaken rules for other sectors & “for developers to damage or destroy our already threatened nature in the UK. “
📢Key protections that UK nature desperately needs are hanging in the balance.
We still have a chance to convince the government otherwise, but we have to act now.
