With just over two weeks before polling opens for the general election, five parliamentary candidates went head-to-head on a range of topics including energy security, the cost of living crisis and the sewage dumping.
“Quite frankly it’s a disgrace that Severn Trent where I live have paid out the highest amount of dividends out of all the water companies and we can see how much they’ve pumped into the rivers and seas.” “I’m not blaming , I’m blaming both, every time something has gone wrong nationally... nobody is punished, they just say ‘oh well’ and the managers just pass it along.Meanwhile the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat candidates agreed that tougher action was required on water companies, as well as reducing the country’s dependence on foreign gas imports.
“We need to replace it with a clean water authority with the legislative teeth to deal with the issue that we’ve got. “It’s interesting to look at the situation in Wales, where the water company Dwr Cymru is a not for profit organisation and its record in terms of environmental control is actually worse than virtually every company in England,” he said.
