400 views and no replies. I’m surprised of that. But it has been known for years that what was sold off was virtually given away and is really only there as a profit making enterprise (the Verny healthy dividends paid to the shareholders and top brass crud)

We should pass a law to require discharges and leaks to be reduced by say 10% every year. If this target is not met, no shareholder dividend, no directors bonus.

And if the monitoring equipment is 'out of order' it is assumed there is a discharge taking place. Not that I'm suggesting any sharp practice

Two gripes.

1 ) Our utilities should not be in the control of other countries. Does no one fear being held to ransom? (Note the problems from a certain "Military Operation" is having on energy and grain supplies

2 ) It seems that those running a company can set their own remuneration package, and not always to the benefit of the workers, shareholders, or customers.

Must stop before ik becomes political!

Too often, it seems that greed rules, rather than service.

When a train operating company fails to provide a decent service or goes broke, its operations are grabbed back into the nationalisation fold.

If the same scheme were applied to the UK s worst performing water business, wonder if the rest would 'pull their socks up'?

I wholeheartedly agree with what's previously said, to bring all utilities back 'in house' not for any political/ideological reason but simply so that us, their customers, get to have a bigger say in how they're run.
