Oooh a new response to our FOI about Elizabeth Road pumping station. www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/eliz...

Nearly 17hrs of releasing into the sea at Elizabeth Street in Dover, this time their ‘modelling’ shows it is impacting on Deal Castle and St Margaret’s beaches. What are they doing about it? 💩

🚨POLLUTION ALERT ‼️ #DealCastleBeach

Southern Water have provided ‘extra info’ to DDC as promised. But what do you think? They said they needed time “to get the level of detail”…… Was it worth the wait? Or are they having us on? #SouthernWater

Former Wessex Water CEO received £170k bonus despite ban on performance pay. Received total of £693,000 in pay from Malaysian-owned parent company, YTL Utilities (UK), including bonus. Company has 47+ criminal convictions, dumps sewage in rivers, fleeces customers, rewards bosses.

🎄In the holiday season, we've been looking back at all the reasons Thames should be taken into public ownership. JULY: The Govt were stuck on a figure of £100bn to bring water into public hands. It wasn't just us saying this was wildly inaccurate. Here's Dr Ewan McGaughey. #OFWATsayNO

And STILL #Labour does fuck all about it, because the reality is, they don't care! They're on the side of the wealthy, privatised industries. They literally don't give a SHIT, that we're paying through the nose for an inferior service. #Starmer doesn't care because he is a #Tory

Questions were asked and some of them were answered, some answers were contradictory 🤷‍♂️

Looking forward to the Ocean and Coastal Recovery Strategy meeting this afternoon hosted by @dealtowncouncil.bsky.social #motionfortheocean #data #data #data

Southern Water to be fined for their part in this years 9900 reading! See more from last nights Scrutiny meeting with Southern Water and the Environment Agency www.facebook.com/reel/1152332...

Excellent! www.facebook.com/reel/1152332...

Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs. Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments". Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged. Privatisation = Abuses and insanity. archive.ph/zbbaQ

Just back from Dover District Council Overview & Scrutiny Cttee Mtg. Excellent additional Questions from Cllrs Parks, Mamjan and of course Cllr Pout. We saw the same presentations as usual. Clarification on the 3 misconnections found and fixed being the same 3 as presented this time last year…

Monday evening Dover District Council will be asking questions of Southern Water and the Environment Agency we are so pleased that DDC are supporting this issue. Here are the questions #ifyouknowyouknow moderngov.dover.gov.uk/documents/s6...

CLOSING TODAY: DEFRA is asking for people's opinions on new ways to hand out fines to water companies. But the companies simply shrug off fines as an occupational hazard. Write to DEFRA now, and tell them that regulation won't work - we demand a publicly owned water system. ⏰Deadline midnight!

Thousands of homes without water for third day #Kent #BBCNews 🔗: https://www.bbc.com/news/arti...

Greenwash England’s water industry issued £10.5bn in ‘green bonds’ despite pollution record. Industry dumps tons of raw sewage in rivers, lakes and seas. Destroys marine life, biodiversity; creates health hazards. And spineless regulators call them green bonds. Travesty.

Plastic bio-beads are escaping into rivers and seas. What systems are in place to monitor their environmental and health impacts? We need answers. #Pollution #Accountability

This is disgusting: water companies have been dumping toxic sewage sludge on UK farms — and turns out it can be packed with microplastics and harmful chemicals. This sludge is polluting our rivers and contaminating the soil that grows our food. Sign this petition. act.gp/4kMJRuy

Well, this is interesting. Bearing in mind the amount of sewage pumped into the sea last year and the very high ecoli reading in July, it is very clear that this classification lark is entirely unfit for purpose. What are we supposed to do with this new classification? It doesn’t protect anyone..

The Labour Gov could bring Thames Water back into public ownership. Instead Castle Water is bidding for it: Castle Water is backed by the Pears Family, a billionaire property group, and owned by Tory treasurer and mega-donor Graham Edwards. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Not sure the 9 new reservoirs will cut the mustard. At least 25 were sold on privatisation, 100 build in the 35 years prior to privatisation and none built in the 35 years since.

Today we’re at Deal Town Hall, with other exhibitors who’ve feed into the Ocean and Coastal Recovery Strategy

Todays shit dumping map care of @sascampaigns.bsky.social

Why isn't my government in favour of public ownership of water? I don't mince my words answering this and many of your most pressing questions on water. Watch the full video: youtube.com/watch?v=s3Lb... Support the campaign: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

🚨 BREAKING: We’re in court TODAY challenging Ofwat! Ofwat promised customers wouldn’t pay twice for infrastructure improvements, but its approach risks customers paying AGAIN for failures that should never have happened. READ MORE: riveractionuk.com/news/river-a...

That means no compensation when the UK water utilities are returned to the people. We can sue shareholders for the money they've robbed from the public afterwards.

BBC Question Time will be recording in DOVER on Thursday 4th December, and are inviting people from across the local community to join the audience. If you’d like to be part of the discussion and share your views on the issues that matter to you, apply here: 👉 buff.ly/1MJ2SAT

Ofwat letting England water firms charge twice to tackle sewage, court to hear Companies billed people for sewage disposal, used cash to pay dividends and exec bonuses, dumped sewage in rivers. Now charging again to fund promised investment, not raising capital from shareholders. Customers fleeced

Murky Water In a free seminar leading authorities will explain how England's water industry became a mess and how we can chart a better future. Date: 12 Nov 2025 Time: 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM Location: Committee Room 11, Houses of Parliament. Free ticket here: www.tickettailor.com/events/prems...

We never know if it safe to swim in the sea! Southern Water’s super Poor performance and lies mean they may not only be spilling sewage during heavy rain 🌧️ 💩

This 👇 is why water companies are not viable and should be taken back into public hands. If the were running as viable shareholding companies, why would they need £104bn cash injection from the government? We are being robbed 💷 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

OMG! What the actual… Please write to your MP to tell them how you feel about this. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We wait with bated breath… www.kentonline.co.uk/deal/news/ho...

Another regulation that the water companies can wriggle out of or wait to be taken to court over and still not comply with. #NationaliseWaterNow #Waterforpeoplenotprofit

Zack Polanski on renationalising water companies, "Shareholders can't say stock not worth anything then expect payment to renationalise"

Blows them outta the water here ! Absolutely 💯 correct too, gives me a bit of hope that we finally seem to have a voice on the left speaking up for the common folks.

Show me where a water company doesn’t require improvement. Bring them all back into public ownership. Water wars are coming and private companies run for profit will harm us.

When it rains like this we know that there will be sewage outflow into the sea. Over this Summer, sewage has flowed into the sea here in Deal for a total of 72hours. Indeed there’s been yet another out flowing of sewage since midnight last night due to the rain.

72 hours of sewage dumped this summer in Deal. This is no accident, it’s a failure. Southern Water - stop treating our sea like a sewer. #SouthernWater #Deal #SaveOurSeas

Are we all looking forward to the Environment Agency’s report on water companies tomorrow morning? 💩💩💩 Renationalise water now!

Our largest water company is in the tender hands of creditors including hedge fund Elliott Management and US private capital firm Apollo Global Management. Needless to say they don’t care about our water supply just the profit they can make. Privatisation was an act of political dogma, it failed.

Thames Water – Britain's largest water utility – has asked the industry regulator to exempt it from some pollution requirements.
