GMB Union responds to a Financial Times report of negotiations between Thames Water and Ofwat that could see the company avoid further fines until 2030 in return for commitments to invest in the business.
Cliff Roney, former water worker, GMB activist, and contributor to Channel 4's Dirty Business, comments:
"All Thames Water customers know that after years of broken promises on bills, investment, and pollution, the company's word is meaningless.
"Ofwat needs to grow a spine and not let Thames Water off the hook yet again.
"Renationalisation is the only way to stop bill payers from being exploited and ensure our water industry receives the investment it so badly needs."
