The @SouthernWater CEO, Lawrence Gosden, has been paid a £183,600 bonus, raising his annual salary to £764,000.

This is despite releasing 317,285 hours of sewage in 2023, double the year before, and putting our bills up by 44%.

Beyond parody.

Gary Gibbon, "Basically, the tax cuts come from welfare cuts"

Laura Trott, "Yep"

Not even hiding it. Shamelessly saying they will cut taxes and fund that by making the poorest and most in need people in our society, poorer and more in need. How can this be anything other than evil?

In other news South West Water has announced a new chairman. Not to be outdone by the CEO, 58% pay rise the new chair will be paid £250,000 per year.

That by the way is for chairing 6 meetings, yes 6, £41,666 per meeting. And you get a car thrown in.

"Taps turned on for water chief's pay despite company blamed for vomiting bug outbreak."

Each of the households poisoned by @SouthWestWater last month is to get £265 compensation.

The CEO's household got £860,000 for making it all happen.

Its now been confirmed 500,000 are affected. No wonder I'm hearing of people having bounced payments, being unable to charge prepayment meters. And still no update from @HMRCgovuk on when it'll be resolved.

Fact: cars drive more slowly on a tree-lined street.

These 3 interventions show the positive use of trees in the roadway:
🚸As part of a narrowed crossing point (Top)
🏎️ Within a chicane (Left)
🧑‍🤝‍🧑At a wide junction, narrowed to make it more pedestrian friendly (Right)

These represent attractive & effective ways to manage the highway, with all the added benefits that trees bring.

Let's fill our streets with trees👉@treesforstreets

. @Feargal_Sharkey this is just UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! What a national scandal the water companies are…rinse profit, under invest and dump sewage!!! It’s disgusting

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Hospital admissions for waterborne diseases in England up 60%.

Consequence of raw sewage dumped in rivers/seas for more than 3.6m hours.

Water company profits and exec pay boosted for inflicting harms.

No one prosecuted.

What an utterly brilliant way to present the 2023 sewage dumping data. Just enter you postcode. 👋👋👋

Deserving of an award me thinks.
