Dear Prime Minister,
I’m writing because I’m deeply worried about the future of Thames Water. Its 16 million customers are being asked to pay more, while the company remains buried in almost £20 billion of debt, its infrastructure needs substantial investment and our rivers continue to suffer.
Thames Water’s creditors have come first for too long. We now need a different approach. One that puts customers, clean water, healthy rivers and long-term resilience first.
I’m asking your Government to:
You have said that our water industry has not been working for people for far too long. You have said that essential services should be run for public benefit. Placing Thames Water into Special Administration is an opportunity to turn those words into action.
Please act now to protect customers, restore our rivers and create the opportunity for a better future for Thames Water.
