Govt announcement on sewage "looks to be job half done"

6 Sep 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the government's new plans surrounding sewage and water companies, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson Tim Farron MP said: 

"On the surface, this new bill simply doesn't look up to scratch to tackling the sewage scandal that has plagued our nation's rivers and waterways. 

"Only a complete overhaul of this disgraced industry and a tough new regulator will end the sewage crisis.

"This looks to be a job half done by the government, now Liberal Democrat MPs will push them to go much further and faster in ending this scandal once and for all."
