It has been revealed that Nichola Shaw, the Chief Executive of Yorkshire Water, has received £1.3m in previously undisclosed extra pay from an offshore parent company.
Together with my colleagues, I have written to Vanda Murray, the chair of #YorkshireWater, demanding an explanation.

Happy Soggy Wednesday
Another dull wet start
But the spring flowers give hope
I just hope #YorkshireWater dont start asking for hosepipe bans come summer
At least this lovely male #blackbird can find worms easily
Have a good day wherever you are 🤗

Yorkshire Water is one of the highest polluters, and customers in Yorkshire are currently facing a hosepipe ban, so how can this possibly be performance-related?

#YorkshireWater is a disgrace
The water industry should never have been privatised.
Renationalise water NOW
And remember, folks - if you can't physically carry watering cans, you can still use a hosepipe to water your garden

So #YorkshireWater are putting our bills up by 41% 😡 it’s a joke when they’ve paid out so much in dividends. Nicola shaw as ceo gets paid £650k a year and took a £371 k bonus all whilst polluting our Yorkshire rivers with sewage! Seems I have a lot more campaigning to do in 2025

My heart sank earlier turning the tap in the kitchen and seeing the lower water pressure and sure enough on my walk just now the water main down the lane has fractured again. This is the 4-5th time this has happened in 5 years. The main cause #YorkshireWater shareholders greed

Just got my water bill, the robbing cartel at #YorkshireWater are taking an extra 33% while still pocketing 64Million pounds in profit* last year. Of course the govt has just waved this through @stephanie-peacock.bsky.social

#Ofwat is a disgrace and 35% price increase - leading to inflationary outcomes - next year should be a call to parliament frankly.
And that’s not even talking about the state of our waterways

#YorkshireWater really should do better. You're a new customer. Basing your billing on an inaccurate estimate that was never challenged by the previous occupant is unfair.
Mine is 1601m³. Their estimate is 3620m³. Must have been overestimating for a few years. They owe previous owners a big refund 😂 Partly previous owner fault for not submitting readings, but still!
I've escalated it.

...this stretch of road has had 4 major leaks in the last few years. Largely because #YorkshireWater won't replace whole sections of pipe but do piecemeal cheapskate repairs. @stephanie-peacock.bsky.social instead of bullying the disabled can the Govt sort out the water companies

Yorkshire Water CEO defends plans to increase bills by 41% after collecting £371,000 bonus.
Bonus for what - dumping sewage, paying dividends, increasing debt, financial engineering, neglecting investment, fleecing customers?
