Since privatisation in 1989, water companies in England have incurred debts of more than £64bn and paid out £78bn in dividends. Privatised, for-profit water isn’t working for people or planet.

That’s why I’ve launched a petition to build support for bringing water into public ownership.

In the short-term, join us in calling for the government:

1. Refuse Thames Water’s request to be allowed to increase bills and limit fines to protect its finances, which would reward mismanagement at the expense of customers and the public.
2. Put Thames Water into special administration and transfer its assets and functions to a publicly-owned company.

In the long-term, we want to see all English water companies be brought into public ownership so that our water network can be managed for the benefit of people and planet.

Make your voice heard and tell the Government: bring water into public ownership, now.
