Over the summer, I wrote to SWR's Managing Director about the impact of the recent major repeated signal failures, which had a significant impact on commuters and rail users across Esher and Walton.
After years of Lib Dem campaigning, including from local MP, Alex Brewer, the Government has finally accepted calls to replace water regulator Ofwat with a new, more powerful body, capable of holding water companies to account.
Last week, it was clear from my inbox how angry people in Mid Sussex rightly are about the state of our water. I’ve been speaking up for our community and holding water companies, and the government, to account for the broken state of our water system...
Responding to Sir Jon Cunliffe’s report into the water industry including the call to scrap Ofwat, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson Tim Farron said:
Westerleigh and Coalpit Heath Parish Council will be discussing its response to Bloor Homes consultation for 450 homes on the land East of Roundways during its meeting this evening, Monday 21st July, 7pm at the Manor Hall.
Thornbury & Yate MP Claire Young has welcomed the news that Ofwat is being replaced by a tougher water regulator, saying the change is ‘long overdue’.
