South West Water admits criminal offence over Devon parasite outbreak.

Water unfit for human consumption, 150 people fell ill.

SWW already has nearly 200 criminal convictions. Licence not cancelled, no exec prosecuted, record high customer bills, sewage dumped in rivers.

Privatisation is a scam.

Calling all community groups in Peterborough!

Do you have an outdoor space that could use a pond, or an existing one that needs some TLC?

As part of our #GreenTalent Project, we are looking for spaces for our trainees to build & maintain community ponds.
