“Six water companies overcharged customers between £800m and £1.5bn by “significantly or systematically” underreporting the true scale of their sewage pollution of rivers and waterways, a tribunal has heard.
In the first environmental competition class action against water companies in England, lawyers argued that the privatised firms had abused their monopoly position to mislead regulators over the amount of sewage they were discharging from their assets over the past 10 years.”
So we were swimming in sewage-contaminated waters, exposed to bacteria-laden tap water, and had to pay more for the privilege? Tory governance at its finest.
Where were the EU?
You know if the article said ‘over the last 4 years’ you’d have the remoaners going ‘another Brexit failure’, ‘this wouldn’t have happened if we had have stayed’ etc etc
Be interesting to see how quiet the comment section remains…
Fine them the total market value of the company and then renationalise it
